Why is it selfishness?

I gathered up all the remains,
bundled them in twine and wrapped
the lingering feelings
in some old Christmas paper.  Still taped
and torn.

Small slivers of sparkle
broke through the storm,
formed in the confines of my fingers,
shedding light on the creases.
I looked beyond the recital.

I released the bunch into the black,
suction of the Glad bag. Tied
then thrown out.  All the good,
along with the complaisant,
trash to be taken out by my dreams.
