Graveyard Dump Site

Putting a dump site
in a graveyard is disrespectful.
Does it count as spiritual striving or not?
Where else should I dump my shite?
Disturbing the dead is never tactful,
so if your graveyard dump site’s
noisy, I would ask that you be quiet
and think about a restful dump-site graveyard instead.
It would count as spiritual striving, would it not,
if you built a website
devoted to listing all the guest-full
graveyards built on dump sites.
The last will be our earth itself, you might
imagine if you waxed prophetic.
The graves yawn, do they not?
The dead arise and plant their feet
in the rag-and-bone-picking dump-site
graveyard of their striving,
do they not?
