Plastic

Like most 20-year olds, I had all the answers in 1982:

Plastic.
Cool plastic.
(This is symbolic.)
I'm in this cool, round, soft, comfortable plastic bubble.
They put me here, and I said, "Cool!"
because here, there's
football and
TV and
docksider shoes and
beer and -
a hole.
Covered, innocently, almost by chance,
with grass.
and OUTSIDE
its
COLD and
HOT and
LONELY and
HORRIBLE and
BETTER 
and they'd rather 
you didn't know that.
