Hello down there.
I don’t think we’ve formally met,
tiny cream bathroom pedal bin.

I’m Carl.
I’ve lived in this flat for a year now.
How have I never used you?
I guess I don’t generally have waste
in this room, except, well, you know.

You seem to have quite a dusty head.
Is that a rusty hinge?
I should check in more.
