Like Flies on Stink

It's curled up in the weedy grass,
flies buzz all around.
It reeks of a rather fresh stench.
You've smelled the scent
of a recently killed skunk,
on the side of the road.
It smells horrible,
yet you can't stop sniffing.
You are involuntarily drawn
to something so appalling
just as flies are drawn to the stink
of a freshly laid turd.

In this poem I am comparing two things that are not at all the same, yet are at the same time.
