The five main gyres of the oceans :   the seven seas woven,
Folding phytoplankton :   swells and shallows, a plane rolling .

A refuse eddy, France cubed to edges, current-corralled
Between continents ;  a confetto of plastics amorphous
Threatens the blue-green shell of the ocean touched by the daylight
That feeds the deeper reaches, calm under the weight of darkness .

Eighty-Thousand tons of plastic, one point eight trillion pieces,
Degrading in sun, smaller and smaller polymer s:
Neuston flotsam concentrate rivaling zooplankton .

Trending :   fish populations dwindling in plastic currents columnar .
