where one immediately 
linkedin to foul odors

yes, most certainly 
the rotten egg posted recently,
or bad egg idiom used 
to describe a person 
who reeks of dishonesty, 
unreliability, untrustworthy, 
or behaves in a reprehensible way, 
which brother or sister phrase 
closely linkedin to "I can smell a rat" 
another colloquialism that means 
you suspect that something went wrong, 
an intuitive palpable 
sixth sense dishonesty, or untrustworthy 
characterizes a situation implying 
that you sense deceit, 
foul play, or a hidden agenda, 
often without having concrete proof
(easily confused with essence of vomit)
unmistakable characteristic
pungent smell of a rotten egg
primarily caused

by the production
of hydrogen sulfide

(hydrogen sulfide expressed

with upper case H,
followed by subscript 2
and followed by upper case S) gas
cue lynyrd skynyrd lyrics
Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you,
which also applies
to unsavory individuals
discounting the grateful dead
brutally and nastily 
assaulting the nasal passages,
detected in the olfactory epithelium,
a small, specialized tissue
located at the very top of the nasal cavity
like an intense, sharp sulfur smell
herewith I repeat myself again 
(similar to rotten eggs or sewage)
due to hydrogen sulfide gas
produced by bacteria as they decompose,
the odor often described
as pungent, sour, or truly "rank,"
and unmistakable, often noticeable
immediately upon cracking the shell
of this, that or another egghead 
mentioned in a previous poem,

yolk dilemma more'n fifty years ago

still indicates the verbalization

and/or written expression of revulsion
to anything objectionable
to sight, smell or sound
in this case reference
made towards Moyer's dumping ground

accepted municipal waste,
sewage, and a variety
of solid and liquid hazardous wastes
(e.g. polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
products containing dioxin,
paint solvents, and similar material),
both of which
I can still discern,

no matter the 65-acre Moyer's Landfill site
located in Lower Providence Township
in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania

closed by the EPA in 1981,
and one of the first
"Superfund" sites added
to the National Priorities List,

which existence still a visual revulsion

no longer functions as a landfill
added to the Superfund Program
National Priorities List (NPL)
on September 8, 1983
and visible from the bedroom I used
as sleeping quarters

housed at 324 Level Road

before becoming dime a dozen penniless
older adult offspring,
who overstayed his welcome

(when Harris tweed mat pulled
from underneath his little feet)

when living with his parents

at the old mansion
(once an estate
named "Glen Elm") 324 Level Road

Collegeville, Pennsylvania 19473

(I take a bit of poetic license here
to exaggerate so as
to garnish the reader's' attention)
the Leipers' summer estate in the woods,
he a ship captain, 
and huntsmen for small creatures
and young lassies,
young enough to be his daughter
she the scion of rich 
socialites from Philadelphia

entertained New England

men and women of high society
(such as successors of the Mayflower, 
and made sure to interject that fact 
anytime the opportunity arose
probably similar to the
hoity toity of the MainLine.

Now my thoughts 
will marinate and steep 
at about fifteen minutes 
before ten o'clock post meridiem 
on this April twenty first 
two thousand and twenty one 
while I relinquish access 
of our macbook pro so the missus
can binges on intellectual fare
such as Jerry Springer's Baggage, 
Hoarders Buried Alive, 
and Steve Wilkos for starters.
