smells bad

tired of looking

at the pack

of chicken wings

on the top shelf

of the refrigerator,

i push them

in the back, 

with the butter tubs,

and jellies, 

a container of

yellowed hummus 

that someone

left behind.

a banana cut in half.

a coconut

from the paleolithic age.

there's so much

in there

that i 

should throw away

as i'm leaving

the store.
