looming over us
damp and dismal clouds
summer's end

coconut water
free with coupon plus;
large baguette: free bakery prize;
sticky cinnamon bun also free, but no one wants it
plastic carrier bag: thirty pence plus planetary death
chocolate milk for eighty-nine pee
double cream for one-oh-five
but one-twenty for skimmed milk? I could get four pints
for that a year ago.
Sparkling water forty two pee and more plastic.
Plastic everything, even in our brains, now:
does that make us part dinosaur?
