ANTHROPOCENE

Spotted on a recent country walk:
torn polythene bags, a family-size
Coke bottle, packets of old dogshit
in the hedgerow, a cylinder block,
some tyres, a box for takeaway fries:
dumped, and going nowhere, all of it.

World of our making: the new Sublime
of ocean-choking plastic, shrink wrap,
warming and wars, and cryogenics
for the 1%. Fucked up big-time
this time, we are the Aztecs of crap,
the Bleaker People, Agents of Nix.
