The Bridgeport International Returns...and Presents...
The Bridgeport Poetry Corner
Dedicated to Alderman Balcer & A Bright Future for Halsted St
Our first community po-em comes from Rene Paquin.
Walking
with my dog from thirty-fifth to thirty-first
On
a windy day--the trash and papers blow around--
I
cannot help but notice: the sidewalks are the worst.
I
also can't tell you how many doggy piles I've found.
We
need more trashcans on Halsted Street;
One
on each block, alternating east and west.
I
gesture with bag in hand to everyone I meet.
They
all agree that more cans would be the best.
As
a responsible dog owner, I always scoop
To
avoid attracting rodents and ensure clean shoes
But
you know that there are those who leave the poop
And
use the lack a trash cans as a lame excuse.
So
here is what I ask of you, my neighbors and our leaders:
Get
more trash bins so our side walks don't turn into rat feeders!
