poem “uphill”, a haiku poem written as a response to recycling things, because I look around and see so much recyclable trash that people discard literally on the street, so I try to recycle everything, and pick up recyclable garbage on the streets, and I try to make a difference, because no one else will, By Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers
