It's good to smell fresh air - if it were fresh.
As it is, it's better far inside.
Out here you'd need a finely graded mesh
To strain out the particulates and hide
The low air quality. Our industry
Does not believe, when value is defined,
That air or water are supposed to be
Preserved - therefore our smokestacks were designed
To belch out smoke for profit into air,
And likewise all our sewers run with muck
From plants unnatural. The profits there
Are private, and the common clusterfuck
Goes by unnoticed. Things are all off-kilter
When even fresh air needs a gas mask filter.
