The PPEs


The mighty humans
Are buckling.
There’s this news of a DNA
Half live, constantly mutating invader
Inflaming their bodies
And the mighty humans
With no capacity to transmute
Into iron or steel
Are suddenly all buckling.
Plastic varieties
That had just been
Denounced
For cluttering and polluting
Now suddenly
Take up precedence –
Polyphenylene ether,
Now gets manufactured
In big amounts
Suddenly raised as armour
To the human throne
Over iron or steel,
Over vegetarian diet
And over the mighty humans’
Overalls.
