I eat what others throw away

makes sense as I am labeled

garbage redundant refused

bottom bag broken pretzels

smashed cookies stale cheese

dented cans with no labels

outdated strawberry yogurt

gleaned from the bargain bin

I the grocer picking choosing

plucking through fingers wide

garbage proffered for purchase

abandoned neglected forsaken

I eat what others throw away

makes sense as I am labeled

garbage redundantly refused
