The Debris

The broom hit something hard and small.
I pushed the fridge against the wall.
Between the lint and the grit of sand,
I found the city in my hand.
A slice of plastic, red and white.
We bought it on a Tuesday night.
The crust was thin, the air was cold.
We weren't yet trying to be bold.
It’s cracked across the phone number.
A relic from a heavy slumber.
I should throw it in the bin.
I’m not sure where to begin.
