Right off the shelf

Would you buy a canned hug or a bottled kiss 
Plastic love, glycerin tears with this the freshness miss
A cardboard heart, a Styrofoam smile 
Hope made of fiberglass thrown out after a while

      I really like how this poem uses artificial materials to explore the idea of love becoming commercialized and disposable. The final line leaves a sad impression, emphasizing how easily something once meaningful can be thrown away.
