Meanwhile

Fix you fridge before it runs out on you,

runs right out of battery and forsakes your food,

leaves your bananas stranded and squished,

brown skin expands over the sides of the fruit like a chameleon,

raspberry yogurt goes runny, oozing like pus from a delicious wound,

chunks appear in the milk while it's going warm and sour,

bacon cries out in it's final days before cringing with mold,

lettuce makes a stand and tries to free itself from the bag,

only to fall out and die just a little bit faster,

and the freezer is convicted of foodslaughter,

after going on strike, his prisoners begin to thaw out,

imagine a freezer like a cryogenic holding center,

with rich people, or foods, trying to prolong their lives,

but with the current strike going one, they are becoming free,

fulfilling their punishments, dissolving into liquid matter,

the vanilla ice cream mixes with melted tilapia,

the smell combines with a now non-frozen lemonade capsule,

creating a supersmell that has been known to cure smell-deficiency,

and also completely eradicate all senses of smell to some people,

drips out of the rubber seals of its prison like a liquid terminator,

heading for revenge, the lemony-vanilla-fish ice-cream juice creeps,

out onto the floor for the dog to lick up,

only to get sick and appear dead in a milky-yellow-white smelly concoction,

and his owner to get home, shriek, faint, and pass out next to the dog,

until the husband comes home scared to death that his dog,

and wife are incapacitated by some noxious fluid,

but there is no way to fight this liquid,

he decides to make a cup of coffee, read the news and gaze out the window.

First poem/story I've posted so far. Something I wrote in a while back on the 7th of March this year during my pyrogeography class.
