The compost dumping race for one event only,

often described as a local "one-off" race
or a singular, non-series event, a, timed,
organized competition happened once or
perhaps annually in a specific location,
namely here at Highland Manor Apartments
rather than part of larger, branded series
requiring each mostly sedentary participant
to push a heavy full (laden bin)
to brim loaded cart
clear across Compton - just kidding,
but carrying device spilling forth
with said detritus constituting spoiled food -
leftovers gone considerably south,
or other inedible plant matter
(maneuvering said contrivance -
particularly one hobbled
with a defunct driver side wheel
or flattened wheelbarrow)
every February twenty eighth
after dark shadows creep along
the edge of night increasing outer limits
of the twilight zone -
with the hologram appearance
of Rod Serling with a cigarette
dangling between his fingers
briefly narrating  the opening
and closing lines spoken by
said person before and after
a twilight zone episode -
"You're traveling through another dimension,
a dimension not only of sight and sound
but of mind, which journey
into a wondrous land
whose boundaries are that of imagination"
and in "In just a moment, we will visit..."
often saying things like
"Submitted for your approval,"
"This is the dimension of imagination,"
or "You've just crossed
over into the Twilight Zone,"
introduced the upcoming scenario,
whereas his namely Rod Serling's
final spoken words,
reportedly uttered to a colleague
just before his death
from heart complications in 1975,
were a poignant reflection on mortality:
"That's what I anticipate death will be:
a totally unconscious void
in which you float through eternity
with no particular
consciousness about anything."

He died at 50,
having faced numerous health issues
after his wartime service,
but his iconic Twilight Zone voice
continued to warn humanity
about prejudice and hate,
which footrace imbued
recycling, reinvigorating, and repurposing
the Earth mother and foodstuffs
for all creatures great and small
plus humus for those species
wise and wonderful
with haunting spectre,
and his echoing sterling words
mentioned as acknowledgement
preceded a moment of silence
before advent appearance of Mötley Crüe 
in the year twenty twenty six,
which wobbly contraption did allow
the organizer and brain child of contestants
(since he just now made up the rules)
to make sure keep at least two wheels
in accordance with the former mode
(ideally the ones in front)
on the ground where the snow melted.

Any areas still covered with snow
will be circumvented
since the weighted down simple
mode of schlepping compost
built with canvas like material
judged by the likes of
oh yes Mister Bill promises
to make an appearance
as one of the Temu representatives
plus so will "Homey D. Clown"
the sketch comedy show
In Living Color
between 1990 and 1994,
a role characterized
by the catchphrase
"Homey don't play that!"
