Garbage

 

LRB No. 3: Lowdown Revue of Kooks (2021)

[Garbage]

 

Garbage speaks the language of garbage

garbled packaging empty of content

throwaway lines rubbish lies

 

Garbage piles up the garbage

side looks on sidewalks gauge it

more rubbish than ever even last week

 

High visibility garbage

nasty garbage

stream of consciousness garble

 

Garbage garbages forever even

the apotheosis of wasted time

front and centre the junk that’s left behind

 

please put a lid on it landfill it

well-earned jail time stale time

where the sun don’t shine
