Little Corpses Everywhere
Woman kept child’s
corpse in a plastic storage tote
-CNN
Little corpses decaying in
storage totes
Little corpses by the
hundreds in unmarked graves
Little corpses by the abortuary
thousands
In bags neatly labeled
“Medical Waste”
Little corpses with shrivelled
meth-tainted lungs
Little corpses dropped
discreetly in the creek
Little corpses all chopped
and dropped and flushed
So that graduation night
won’t be ruined
Little corpses in
factories, mere skin and bones
Their agonies haunting our
new smart phones
