Sonnet 11: Particularly Plastic

By Aurin Squire

Today I'm feeling particularly plastic
Taut, processed and artificial
if lit consider a dangerous toxic
a sad broken ritual

Nobody likes particularly plastic
Not soft nor easy on their eyes
Utilitarian multi-elastic
dull with no surprise

Carbon and poly put to pot pressure
kettle whistle and blue steam excess
thermo digits scroll out the measure
Marking the meter, mounting the stress

Pinching and poking particle persons plastic
Smiling, and grinning neon teeth fantastik!
