A rising tide will always lift some boats.
Alien to the wine-dark of the bay,
That sea of plastic trash afloat today.
Tectonic plates are groaning as we speak;
Earth's on the move—the oceans leak.
Our lithosphere's become a tattered coat.
And I, poor I, who'd love to hold my peace,
Have still a lot more words left in my lease.
So, then, I wonder, What's to do?
I fear I'll have to leave it up to you!
