paper or plastic?
save the environment, you know.
it's on all the shirts, the key chains,
and I see it on the bumperstickers
which is sort of ironic.
(seeing as I'm half mad)
kill a tree, though.
that's what they make
the brown bags from
the plight of the trees,
the rape of our mother.
or that's what the hippie told me
when I put out my ciggarette in the grass.
(seeing as I smoke more than I should)
I'll bring my own bags
although made in sweatshops
the little fingers of the Asian children
carefully stitching the seams
their blood intermingling with my produce
but I can't taste it, I am immune
such a small pinprick
gone a while ago.
Paper or Plastic?
Back.
