dropped
but not picked up
ground
in and never mopped
broken
down and left unrepaired
foul
smelling but long-accepted
gotten
dirty with no thought of cleaning
carelessly
discarded from a tired bus
washed
down again with dirty water
smeared
once more by septic rags
rubbed
too often with fouled fingers
cleansed
only by their grimy sweat
sandal
feet deep-caked with dirt
poison
trash burning 24x7
discarded
mountains of drinking plastic
runoff
tainted by human wastes
fed
off plastics dropped in place
got
a cellphone and dirty underwear
living
large robbing tourists
totally
used to things decaying
accustomed
to wet toilet floors
waving
flies off cold street food
ignoring
things that climb the wall
made
poorer still by accepting filth
