anguished

plastic knives and plastic forks
plastic spoons and plastic corks
plastic tables, plastic chairs,
plastic threats and plastic stares
plastic people, plastic towns
plastic smiles and plastic frowns
plastic food in plastic pubs
plastic doors to plastic clubs
plastic money, plastic bags
plastic implants for your sags
plastic bottles with plastic tops
plastic beer plastic cops
plastic singers in plastic bands
play plastic music for their plastic fans
plastic parties , plastic raves
we're heading for a plastic grave.

That's a lot of plastic, alright! I guess we get used to the ubiquity of the product, but laying it out like that makes it scary.
Still, Bakelite (an early plastic, granted) wouldn't generate the same lyrical quality, and the whales, buffalo, and every other animal with bone, skin or meat might be happy enough with the alternative to their product!
a good kickoff to your poetry output, and welcome to the site.

| Witty and perceptive. The almost dark comedy lends itself to the overall truth of the message. The bouncy, nursery-rhyme-like feel that masks the horror that is modern society is punctuated by the final line. The poem reminds me of a retelling of the Kinks song, "Plastic Man," by poet E.E. Cummings (famous for such covertly dark works as, "In Just Spring.") Never stop writing; You can only improve. |
