Earth Day
bleached-white tiny fossils of a duck
four months —five months? since we met last
organs, excavated
feathers sparse, marks of time
unthreading sinew,
pale orange webbed motors
little nothing
of Oneness
no eyes no heart no lungs
maggots! make way for Now & Laters, Ritz, Twix, Tootsie rolls, Kettle, Hostess, Frito-Lay, Keebler, Chex, Cola, Cola, Cola, Cola, Cola, Hershey, Doritos, Kotex, Airheads, Little Debbie, Wonka, Oscar-Meyer, Oberto, Quaker, Honey Maid
(all natural) (organic) (USDA approved) (100% wheat) (recyclable) (renewable) (sustainable)
dropped here, forgotten, by human hands
hands: for invention, for demolition
plastic! seep to Our Iron Core
our Engine
revs; it sputters, kicks
converge, diverge; we rebuild
fiercer, much too sustainable we are
