PLUMING AND FUMING

On TV I see oil plumes under the sea
Washing tar balls over the booms
Competing with soccer balls kicked
Into nets; and netted birds with their plumes
Oily as I step outside breathing the fumes
On the Coast once again kicked
Toward the next tarring and feathering
By the storm always approaching
From the drilled and greased behind.
