Air Raid

Air Raid

The world is full of plastic bags
They're living everywhere
At supermarket checkouts
Or fluttering in the air
Pale jellyfish against the light 
They float across the sky
Or split or torn, like roadkill squashed
On muddy pavements lie

If all these earth-worn groundlings
Should join their friends in flight
They'll form a mighty legion
And conquer earth by night
In parachute formation
Descending in a rush
They'll clog the sun, and stifle spring
And turn the sea to slush

The world is full of plastic bags
They're lurking everywhere
Until the time comes to arise
And suffocate the air
