A mangled mess
Here by chance
Just drifting
Like dice, tumbling
To planned obsolescence
Hourglass sand
Timed expiry
Like refrigerated contents
Referred to in the past tense

People would just throw it away and just move forward, with no care about the past

First, thank you for engaging. I appreciate it. 🙂 Sometimes I forget my manners because my immediate thought is to get to the point.
Although I’m using refrigerated contents as a metaphor for human beings, you can read it both ways: as commentary on consumerism (planned obsolescence) and how we treat each other.
