And Man created
the plastic bag
and the aluminum can
and the cellophane wrapper
and the paper plate,
and this was good
because Man could then
take his automobile
and buy all his food
in one place
and He could save
that which was good
to eat in the refrigerator
and throw away that
which had no further use.
And soon the earth
was covered with
plastic bags
and aluminum cans and paper plates and disposable bottles and there was nowhere to sit down or walk,
and Man shook his head and cried:
"Look at this Godawful mess."
