"I'm Not Trash But This Poem Is"

I envisioned the world as one
trapped inside of a coke bottle.
What a profound art piece, now that I'm thinking on it a little more.
I see it stuffed to the brim with
folded bits and pieces of paper.
I might scatter them around, maybe sort them out,
carefully undo them one at a time and gleam some
fresh perspective, learn something new.
Behold myself to an insight or two.
Or just as likely I could find them blank
slimmed lined and virginal untouched by man woman or pen.
All full of possibilities then, if that's the case.
The world I envision as one trapped in a bottle
might very well collapse all about me,
If I poured it all out.
