Plastic

I am a plastic bag

Dancing in the sky.

Angel polyethylene,

Pirouettes on high.

Chaos holds my rhythm,

Like anger holds the streets.

Fading with the stereo,

The hurried, heavy feet.

I can't feel the force

That makes you walk afraid.

I’m running like a horse,

From deals the devil made.

I see your eyes a gazing,

Wondering if I’ll land.

On piled brick or concrete.

In ocean or the sand.

How do you escape it,

And live a life like me?

Follow for the snowflakes,

Lead for fallen leaves.

I am a plastic bag

Swirling in the air.

Carry outs and drug stores

Give me to your world.

I am a plastic bag.

More free than God made man.

Sing with me in silence,

And we’ll dance hand in hand.
