One foot by one foot
by six foot deep
the chemical waste 
of a money pit
broke her parents
on the cost of health

Unpaid wages over time did 400 kilotons accrue,
as lit fuse broken promises counter-clockwise grew
Lively resentment crouches mule heavy

A priceless dowry 
my love I gave for you
a purchase
so costly
