I am empty and complete in
this emptiness. Liquid will leak out
should you misjudge my volume. Please
be considerate of these plastic shields.

I can save what you wish to save,
disregard the weight; left for thirsty mouths,
for mosquito repellent, for lemonade
I shall never taste. Please

be considerate of what you put in
and the residue you can never
get back nor ever know
went missing.
