Ives Road Inventory

Writer inventories the empties she retrieved on Ives Road during an afternoon walk.


My partner and I usually pick up cans and bottles along Ives Road, from the entrance to the park to end of the grassy strip where the sidewalk begins.  I started doing this when I moved to the area ten years ago to make amends for all the debris I tossed as a rebellious adolescent. Today’s inventory (2 p.m. 5/3/12) merits publication.

Absolut vodka: 3 pints, 1 nip

Smirnoff nips: 2
