ONE DOLLAR STORE GARBAGE BAGS

Fifty years -or more- add old letters bags 
books no one wants to read on paper
files carrying history of similar weight
on route to become larger garbage bags.

Mark Strand once wrote about oxygen
replacing a man leaving a place 
with no  garbage bags to take along.

Carmen Valle wondered in a plane
a poem about herself not throwing away
garbage bags left back at home.

More than fifty years of history also include
garbage bags bought in a one dollar store.
