Polyethylene Apathy
“Plastic is entirely engulfed in its usage: one of these days objects will be invented merely for the pleasure of using them.”- Rolland Barthes, “Plastic,” from Mythologies The public protests for its absence, a chemical surplus whose molecular makeup is replaced by a new synthetic sibling. You were a small monomer when Christmas consisted of rituals, gathering plastic barricade for your own sentimental security. Now past macromolecular pleasures risk economic existence and enjoyment for the future generation. Fingers no longer setting off inflated stumps as loud as aftershave to the sound of their obsessive compulsion. Ryan Racine
