A half-smashed plastic cup skids down
The sidewalk, victim of the wind,
Which claims another as I leave my car
And push toward a store.  It waits
Outside as I am shopping, snatches at
My clothes and bags of groceries after
I emerge.  I load the car, then climb
Inside to safety.  While I'm driving home,
I smile as the spiteful wind redoubles its
Attempts to reach me.  Thwarted, it returns
To flinging trash along the ground.
