It's Still Life

Rubber Bands

I keep them in a plastic box, rubber bands
hold its lid on tight, rubber bands
keep coffee beans airtight, rubber bands
hold my cookbook together,

rubber bands to snap my wrist,
rubber bands so I don’t forget,

rubber bands
tied on tomato trusses, rubber bands
in all bright colours, rubber bands
that the postman drops,

rubber bands, rubber bands.
I do I do love a rubber band.
