Intersection Gum Collection

I always chew gum after lunch everyday. So on my drive back to the office after lunch, the flavor in the gum always runs out at this intersection where I always have to make a left turn. A while back, I started spitting my gum out at this intersection everyday, aiming for the center divider. I didn't realize it at first, but gradually, a big mound of gum started collecting there.

It feels funny to see that mound of gum everyday. It feels like I've accomplished something, like I've left my mark on society. Recently, the mound has grown incredibly fast and there are pieces in there that are not my traditionally-colored gum. I am confident that there is someone or are some people out there who has/have decided to jump on my bandwagon and join in on my artform-in-progress.

Initially, I was upset about it. I stopped spitting my gum out there altogether. I was going to start a new mound somewhere else. But then I realized that the mound continued to grow without me. I grew to accept the fact that I started something that couldn't be stopped. I had the power to turn litter into art.

I must find a way to use this power for good.
