The Couch On Our Street….

Nearly two weeks ago someone dumped an old sofa on our street near our apartment building. Somehow in the middle of the night someone else carted it over to another building that is currently empty.

It now sits forlornly in the rain and the mist and the wind pointedly working as a reminder that we are often at the mercy of people who don’t take responsibility for the most ordinary of tasks – disposing of their own garbage.

Now as it sits there – looking sadder every day – the question arises as to who is responsible now to see that it gets taken away. It costs to have a company pick it up and it’s a street of apartment blocks that refuse to acknowledge ownership. It’s become a metaphor of our times where everyone seems to be dropping the ball and cuttin’ out fast.

The Couch on our Street….the saga continues.
