Disposable cutlery has become a contentious topic
Not quite to the degree as deciding a long lasting solution to the Israel Palestine conflict
But given the previous insignificance we had assigned them
Forks and knives are popping off comparatively
We have settled one item and taken it off the table
Like our elbows
Plain old trash is a no go
The landfills are full
Setting this failed first course aside
We have the two entrenched camps
The recyclers and the composters
If we as a society were better
Then there may not be a further debate
We would put aside our personal preference and differences
And use the compostable stuff
It, like ourselves, is only temporarily a part of the planet
Before becoming dirtstuffs
But im just so damn tired
Of my knife breaking in half
When it contacts
The molten crust
Of microwaved lasagna
