Throwing Out the Trash

If I wrote down all of my untold sins
on a handful of unused white napkins
would you want to wipe your hands of me
or would you throw away what's history?
If you saw something shameful in the bin
would you route around to find what has been
or would you leave it alone in the trash
where it's free to rot away with the past?
You see, sometimes we look away from waste
because its stench would leave such a bad taste
and whilst it had stunk you discarded the junk
allowing mistakes to become misplaced.
