Dish Dispute

Buzzing hordes of flies
accompany
a bog of eternal stench
that forms a fog
of putrid bile, that creeps
above the counters
on a journey to infect
the rest of the suite.

Perfume sprays saturate
all suite doors.
Violation candles populate
the common area.
Empty Febreeze bottles
fill the trashcans.

Finally
the enraged, appalled,
and fuming suitemates
lock the procrastinator
in the kitchen
to clean her
month old dishes.
