Chapter 10 - Garbage can

I hold everything you're finished with and yet I am never full. I am the shadow of a garbage can. People dump trash and recyclables into the garbage can, and watching this makes me wonder. Why would they throw it away when recycling is right next to the garbage? While I do find it idiotic, It's quite laughable. I personally have never had to do either of those things so I may be off, but from what I've seen people either don't care or are daft. When I'm not laughing at the laziness of some people, I sit undisturbed and with only the stench of trash. On garbage days, there is usually a rush to get the can out there or throw away some trash before it gets emptied again. I find it fun how everyone has somewhere to be and yet they are still taking the time to put the can out there. Maybe I'm jealous of never having anyone or anywhere to go? Or maybe I live a sad, lonely life with only myself and my insanity to talk to. All I know is I am a garbage can's shadow.
