Litter begets
more litter—
ah, sure when
litter it, we re
itter ate it.
I / it
lit
light
litter
along
the literal
littoral.
The ill litter it
refuse refuse
and garb age.
I utter a light
little iteration
against litter
alluding to
allusion, all
iteration and
assonance off
the road, on
the road and in
to ash, rash,
trash
can.
