prehistoric rhetoric

styrofoam still the style
for kona organic brews in tourist kidneys
whose wallets one harvests
to convert credit's waterfront
condo overlooking petroleum
fields as they ripen
to mature as chlo·ro·fluor·o·car·bon 
feetprints in the espresso steam
running their diesel powered zits
doubleparked by old growth stands
of integrity so dirty
from legislation handling it waits
to evolve in an airport cue
stepping into the swamp of sludge
known as future
