math question. do you know about the plastic pile

in the Indian Ocean gyre? this is rhetorical


math. the numbers may not be initially visible.


the trash comes in waves. much like bullshit

from the mouth of a board


member, it spills about, nurdles, buzzwords, lingo,

jargon, and the rest.


“all hands on deck,” “further transparency,”

“viability assessment,” they cry and rend their well tailored clothes.


meanwhile the school closes, the landlord evicts,

and the child starves in the street.


it cycles about, whirls like an ugly, perfect dancer.

the gyre. I was talking about a trash gyre.


we have so many. I’ll be more specific.
