garbage in the ocean; endless garbage in the ocean

we are not safe all the markets could come crashing down it could happen any day now a blue origin rocket ship never making it to its final destination no man knows the hour or the day no man knoweth that bridget jones had her cigarettes with wine and mr darcy but i only have weed and a plastic one liter bottle of coke zero and no mr darcy to know the hour or the day helen fielding, enabler of the delusional, recycled happy endings but the plastic coke bottle isn't a jane austen novel and the chinese don't want our garbage anymore there is enough garbage in china already "there are 8.3 billion tons of plastic in the world" 8.8 million metric tons are chinese trash for the yangtze river to carry to the sea sometimes i feel just like garbage previously shipped to china trash and blue origin debris comeuppance for the yangtze river to carry to the sea endless oceans end same place plastic rocketship garbage begins
