WHERE DOES YOUR GARBAGE GO?

      It’s first to bins and barrels by the street
      Lined up and down the block, tidy and neat,
      Then clattered in the gullet of a truck
      Where it’s now crushed into a fetid muck,
      That’s driven then to somewhere out of town,
      Where if there’re any houses, they’re run down,
      A blighted neighborhood, long in a slump,
      The site of our fair city’s garbage dump.
