Found this literally in the gutter on my morning walk yesterday, and I have questions.
The seal on the wrapping is still intact; I wonder why the
owner (possibly the recipient of a gift?) never even opened it to look at the
inspirational sayings for each month?
We’re ten months in to 2025—why ditch it now?
Why dump it in the roadside gutter? Typically, that’s where
people toss crap out their car windows—did they drive around the People’s
Republic to find exactly the right place for this sad thing?
What a statement about the futility of marking the passing
of days, no matter how hopeful the framing, in these times.
At least I recycled it properly.
