plastic bags or cardboard boxes?

Katy Perry's song "Firework" starts with the line, "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind?" I hear the song a LOT and so I've thought about her question. I'm sure some people could relate to that, and it is a perfectly lovely song (just incredibly over played. But! I'd rather have "Firework" over played than some other songs.) Anyway, No, I have never felt like a plastic bag. I relate more to cardboard boxes. Let me explain? When you see a plastic bag stuck blowing around in a tree, or bouncing along on the ground, the first thing you think is, "is it a bird?" (ok, that's what I think. I can't exactly speak for you.) And then you realize it's a plastic bag. You might be sad that there is trash way up there in the tree, or pick it up off the ground, or you might just go on your way. But you noticed it. A cardboard box, on the other hand, sits there in its soggyness on the side of the highway and no one gives it a further glance, unless they mistake it for roadkill or it has puppies in it.) So they're both unwanted pieces of garbage, cardboard boxes are practically invisible. And no one ever mistakes them for birds. Just sayin'.

:) have a nice day!
