Perspectives of a Naturalist

PLASTIC

It has us
in its

Clings
Wraps
and
in 
its covers.

In its soft
bold, ubiquitous
presence,
it holds
carries,
ties ends,
and it
Stays.

It stays
Everywhere
In homes
On roads
In land and
in the ocean

It streams
In fish
In vegetables
And in us.

Plastic
Sticks its reminder
if we cannot cure
(Our dependence on plastic)
We should
prepare
ourselves
for accelerated
Strangulation
One day at a time.

Life below water
Life above land
Life everywhere
On the blue floating dot,
All at stake
Unless we change.

Refuse plastic
Single double whatever,
Seek alternatives
Innovate (we are smart, aren’t we?)
because we care,
Don’t we?
