All in Moderation

Taking the recycling out with the trash,

Since they are received by two different, although adjacent, bins,

They are taken out in the same trip;

So, with a bag in the left and another in the right,

climb down the steps to the garage where the cans are kept;

Thinking sometimes I mix them up,

Because too often the things intended to be disposed of, return,

And, the things I meant to revisit, discarded;

So, with both free hands now idle,

climb up the steps to the place above where the original mistake is made;
