Freeverse 511

8/9/21

I fondly recall the garbage barge
a moving mountain of unwant
someone's tons
of summed crumbs
and a permanent smell
that I imagined as hell
one big hot rot
out for a cruise on a yacht
boating with the verboten

we buy everything
but that which is bought is soon broken
and quickly forgot
but it sure can sit
or if spilled makes the water dim
and goes for a swim in gill slits
