Life is a Comparison of Decay.

Mottled grey and yellow,
Like Jaundice and Necrosis eloped.
Transparent, as if you added milk to water
Muddy, and impure.

The skin will decay quickly,
the stench of working bacterium
pervading the air.

I throw the the soon recycled skin
into the trash can on my left,
grimace at the thought of it's existence,
and then devour what it once protected.
