Ground beef rots in a dumpster
Even the homeless won’t eat it
Flies hover about it, laying their eggs
that hatch into squirming maggots.
Not even cooked into a hamburger
the meat was past its sell-by date
and there were no freegans
to consume it right away
So it rots!
The stench of decaying flesh
fills the dumpster like a miasma
like a last goodbye
from the animal it came from.
