Oh COVID19.. you’ve raised your ugly stink! And guess what, you’ve affected, not just the
respiratory system, but the brains of some of the walking dead! I swear!
The other day on my bike ride I began seeing “bio-waste” along side the
streets in my barrio. Today, I stopped
and decided to capture images of some of it as it begins to be scattered about
by careless people.
The first one was the blue glove on the treaded crosswalk near a
local park where children walk. Who just
takes off your contaminated blue glove, you know, the one used to keep your
cute little pinkies clean and non-contaminated, the one you soiled with your
sweat and flaking skin cells. The one
you turned inside out and threw on the ground where we must walk because you
are too damn lazy to throw it in the garbage or take it home to dispose of it
properly. And by the way, where is the
other one? Are you marking your trail,
like a dog does along the way? Oh, I
know, someone else is supposed to clean up after you.
The other image is a surgical mask caught on a bush along a
sidewalk. Just think how nasty that
covering is. Your wet, smelly, stinky
breath has been sucked in and out of that cloth with each lungful of air you’re
trying to exchange. You’ve touched it to
adjust it to your grimy face: Who knows
where that hand has been! (Ok, maybe you
used the blue glove you threw on the ground.)
It is as nasty as your contaminated cloth bags you have been using to
lug your groceries in and out of the store because you are saving the
planet. Your contaminated mask doesn’t need to be hung
up on a bush… it needs to be in the trash.
It is BIO-WASTE!
