Single Rubber Glove

I started to write an entry on the state of news and the world of politics but I felt the life force draining from my body, so I’ve shelved that. Let’s just say: it’s bad and we’re all doomed and leave it at that for now.

However, in a matter that somehow feels vaguely like a visual metaphor for the politics of our time, I share with you another type of rubbish.

– Filling my vehicle with gas one evening, I spotted this single, rubber glove draped over a trash can. This was simultaneously creepy and amusing to me. I wonder how much you’d have to pay the average person to pick up that glove with their bare hands…

“Oh, single rubber glove, discarded without care, what is thy story?’

Somehow, the single glove conjures even darker thoughts about what is in the tied plastic bag beneath it. Darkness and evil lies therein, surely…

And now, I’ve done my duty by sharing this meaningless piece of debris with the world. You’re welcome. Stay tuned for more exciting posts in the year to come! – What an auspicious way to kick-off a new decade!
