Anxious Angel

She did not want to be
The tissue that the allergic reached for
Only to find it shedding dust
The seatbelt the cautious reached for
Only to have to dig it out of its own tight, cushioned recess

She did not want to be "I Will Survive" muzaked or
The plastic public garbage with the spring-loaded door
That made the environmentalist
Litter.
