Pack It In! Pack It Out! – Kook’s Litter

plastic bottle caps create a barefoot minefield at the beach entrance

spent beer cans encircle a deserted self-extinguished shoreline bonfire

saturated cigarette butts sunbathe, releasing their toxins into the soil

undergarments lie indiscreetly, abandoned from an evening’s passion

remnants of a bar of surf wax, now sand encrusted, lazily left behind

opaque shopping bags mimic a swarm of jellyfish floating in the surf

Pack It In! Pack It Out!

Kooks Litter
