In every pore
Plastics production overtakes steel in 1979

In every pore
Behind feather, behind the fin, inside shell
In every pore
Within the nail, beside the bone, within blood between beak
In every pore
The skeleton, the connective tissue, the slippery skin of modern life
In every pore
In every day, in every way,
We become a little more plastic
