• Sans Trash Cans

  I noticed slowly, like thinking in molasses, why can't I throw this napkin away?  I was walking down the street and I wanted to do my civic duty, no litterbug I, just toss the thing into the nearest receptacle.  I looked and I just stopped in my tracks; the trash cans were gone.  All of them.  Up and down the street, freshly paved for the DNC dignitarati, new trees and no cans. I guess the old trees didn't stand up and salute quite right.   I wonder what they did with all the cans?  Is there some large pile of thousands upon thousands of metal bins stacked up behind some triple-decker in Dorchester?
