Kensington, NY

This bag was flying all over. I tried to ignore it — I was afraid because of coronavirus — but it kept appearing in front of me as if it was following me. I gave up, picked it up and took it to the trash bin nearby. It felt bizarre to pick this one bag up while surrounded by piles of trash. Not many people are on the street these days, and yet it was filled with litter. Especially with many, many, many disposable latex gloves.

I’m still thinking if I should have taken the plastic bag home with me. I didn’t figure out the proper protocol to deal with this situation in time, as I had not even been outside, but I’ll make that as a task for this week.
