We're forward thinking,
economists of a new millennium,
selling hymns and psalms on
polyester t-shirts, 2-for-1
specials with complimentary
plastic bags, stained
with smiley faced suns
and neon flowers hugging trees.

Another fantastic poem. I love the irony:
stained
with smiley faced suns
and neon flowers hugging trees.
The word "stained" is a great word choice because it suggests something dirty and one would never think something can be "stained" with smiley faced suns.
I also like the title because it's true. A lot of the environmentalists nowadays are doing it because it's the "in" thing. Reminds me of the Livestrong bracelets and how they had different colors so you could accessorize.
Thank you!
That's exactly what I'm going for. I'm glad it translated.
