So much for trying.
They're not even trying.
So, we took three bags full of plastic,
Down to the recycling.

And somewhere specific in the Pacific
More life eats and dies.

Who remembers buying goods
From wooden drawers
Given in brown paper bags?

No?

Now all is trade and import/export
On boats and planes

And all life is plastic.
