ENVIRONMENTAL Poem: Air Pollution, by Maria Marino

I got new glasses that have yellow lenses. They sit a bit crooked on my face, but I couldn’t pass them up. Besides, they get the job done…sort of. They don’t protect my eyes from smoke and dust, but they look really cool! Everyone’s wearing them. Some people try to get the filter off, but it was added years ago. You can’t remove some things that’ve been engraved for years –– Yellow lens…is there anything as flashy?
