dead T.V. on the curbside, useless tires stacked in mounds

landfill mountains leaking anything into the water table

bundles and bundles of tomorrows tiewraped up

in a plastic that will out last everyone alive

back in the fifties they had the smarts to invent transistors and plastic but I can never forgive

them for not teaching us to reuse it and reuse it and reuse it and reuse it and reuse it

and not to fix things but to just throw them away just throw them away just throw them away

just throw them away just throw them away

I think of the thinning out of the starving populations

and I think of all the people I know on diets and

I think about poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences poisoned essences and planned obsolescences
