Entrails Ripped From Produce Goods

The gore I see daily festers in my mind

It doesn't stop with watermelon rinds

Decapitated avocados thrown in a fruit juice waste

The smell of molded tomatoes lying strung

with seed half dried on the floor beyond the grocer's door

A cart wheel grabs the attention

of a plump fresh grape

The sight of it's mutilated flesh

drives customers ape

Some of it's skin sticks to the wheel

a long track of bloody juice

It's veins and seed are peeled

Putrid stench-rotting fruit

Severed bananas from their shoot

Acorn squash smashed against the wall

It slides unrecognized rot that falls

As it lies in the dumpster festering

with maggots and flies,

I prepare my paper bag for this delicious meal to try

I store it in my drawer in case I get hungry for more.

Slimy bacteria infested fungus FDA tested

My sick mind compels me to

Brutalize, Scrutinize, Analyze

Mutilated, Decapitated, Refrigerated

Fumigated, Rotting, snotting, fruit

The soft innards spew forth from kiwis

and peaches. There juices run

Sticky fingers. I'm stuck in a rut

From pulling apart cucumber guts
