is this meat so cheap?
tagged
with a bright red sticker,
manager's special.
has it gone
bad,
has it been bleached
to kill
the bacteria,
have mice bitten into
this large cut
of angus beef?
what's the deal
on this amazing deal
on red meat?
yesterday it was 18.95
and today
it's five dollars.
it smells okay
when i put the thin
cellophane to my nose.
i see no
green
around the edges,
no curdling of fat,
no teeth
marks from a dog,
no larva having a feast.
should i buy it, or move
on to the bread,
also marked down
with a broken seal,
now solid as a rock.
how about these dented cans
of soup, edible
or will i die
tomorrow as i hang on for
dear life
to the porcelain wheel?
