trash man

[summermoose]

Hi.
Yes, trash man?
They call him.
Trash man they call him.
Too close to curbs in the suburbs,
He exchanges middle class trash, for low class food stamps.
Too close to the scraps in food scraps.
Trash man they call him.
They call him.
Trash man. Thanks.
Bye.

While in certain cases it could be great, the repetition of "they call him" doesn't do much for me in this poem. I do not think I felt what you were trying to make the reader feel (given there was a concerted purpose) when I read this. On a poem this short to have the first and last four lines be rather empty makes it tough to engage the reader and I found myself lost in the repetition. I cannot offer much more feedback because I don't quite understand where you were trying to go with it.

Cheers!
