Art: Life emerges from the aquatic by Alex Duensing
PLASTIC FROM CYBER WAVE RIDER
get this, get that
lines down pavement
racing to tap, tap
screens combat
the green marine
this techno flat
mega corporate
war with our
selves, books
vanishing from
the glamour
these celibate fables
of fake news cruise
time is a chance
to dance with the moon
sex when the salmon run
instead of fast-food-itude
please tempt, don’t submit
traces of poly
in your brain
these nylon strands
holding our fate
while bottles island
toxic seals steal
the ice from the
bears, bare
without a place
to sit, at this
natural table
corrupted
resource allocation
extinction, except that
artificial carrier,
remaining.
