Ellis! That second stanza got me. That damn rainbow water!

Hope all is well!

I feel like this is a commentary on capitalism and something more that I am interested in knowing. Very cool.

Yeah I’ll acknowledge my hangups on capitalism seep into my works. The middle one was inspired by local events persisting here in BC for some time now. Thanks for reading, Christian!

Nice, and yeah for sure. It's interesting to read good writer's influences.

The last one in particular struck me. The picture is simple and direct, and man do I love the word polyethylene. It’s so lovely. Been meaning to weasel it into a work for a while

Yeah, figuring out the order of these can be somewhat tricky. Glad to know the finale was most striking to you!

Order and titles can def be tricky. Really nailed the title with this one too tho
