Plastic-man

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
My blood has been saturated
With nanoplastics absorbed from the environment
Every organ in my body contaminated
To the point I'm completely tolerant

Plastic-man is what I've turned into
Bouncing through life defying longevity
Scientist say it's too late to undo
Ultimately we'll all succumb to plasticity
