I am a trashcan.
I see the kid doing his homework next to me.
I hear the crumbling of the paper.
I feel the wind when the teacher walks past me.
I am an old and dirty trashcan.

I dream of being a garbage truck.
I love to recycle.
I want to smell.
I hope to learn history.
I am a wanting to learn history and smelly trashcan.

I understand about being thrown away.
I spoil when fluids come in me.
I say that pigs could fly.
I like to hear when the students laugh like a hyena.
I am an old but new trash can.

This was an assignment in class that I'd like to share with other students. The trashcan was my inspiration because I thought that no one would use the trashcan as an object to write about.
