And so it piled up to the ceiling
coffee grounds and potato peelings
brown bananas and rotten peas
clumps of soured cottage cheese
it filled the cans and covered the floors
it cracked the windows and blocked the doors
with bacon rinds and chicken bones
and drippy ends of ice cream cones
and though her parents would scream and shout...
she simply would not take
the garbage out.
