What Garbage is; and isn’t

Garbage is litter, deadwood, rubbish, and trash.
It’s stinky, rotten, mushy, and junk.
Garbage is scraps of debris, refuse, and waste.

It isn’t pleasant, aromatic or useful.
It can’t be recycled, reused, or fixed up.
It’s messy, dusty, gross, and just plain yucky.

Garbage is leftovers, someones scraps, leavings, and slop.
Made up of compost, odds and ends, bits and pieces, of this and that.
Garbage is scummy residue, remnants of spoiled cheese, poop, and remnants.

It’s definitely not recyclable, an asset, nor valuable.
Garbage isn’t a ‘catch’, a ‘prize’ or fine possession.
Not considered as wealth, clean, or pure.

Garbage is garbage is garbage and nothing more.
It isn’t worth keeping, won’t increase in value, become rare, or priceless.
Garbage is just junk, offensive, substandard, and insufficient.

But.

Rotten garbage can be useful, provide nutrients to plants and lawns.
Salvageable bits and bobs turned into artwork, a motley collection of this and that.

And yet.

Garbage is unacceptable, inadequate, shoddy, and wanting.
Unusable, unsuitable, a mishmash of rabble and riffraff.
Garbage is waste, unwanted stuff we throw away; nonsense, hogwash and drivel.
