Use these words in a poem …white boy …badger …caulking gun …crow-pecked …extra belt holes

Crow-pecked words return to litter,
ignored by probing badgers.
An old caulking gun rusts
with broken hyphens.
Empty bags rustle
discarded titles.
Dinner’s excess stains
crumpled edits.
The old white boy with extra belt holes,
scavenges for metaphors.
