By Mila D. Aguilar
The devil is upon us
He thrives on harmless
Vegetables we keep
To create compost
For our hungry gardens.
The stink will invade
Your noses day to day
Stinging your skin
Developing dots
For microbes to feed on.
But that is not
The worst of it.
Ripe compost produces
Methane, which is odorless
And could kill you
Without your knowing it.
The trick is to
Throw open your windows
So God’s air could come in
And dissipate the gas.
But lock your doors
Lock your doors
For the devil could get you
By climbing the fence
He himself built.
Remember, the devil is with us
Sending warts upon us all.
