Ghosts of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island
Slowly snatching the fame
From their material hosts
Tossing it into the recycling bin
In heaven labeled "For Witless Jerks"
Shadows of scrawny, one-armed trees
Stand sentinel
Propped up by plastic sheaths and asphalt soil
Merely for show, of course-
Concrete is more lively these days
Then again, progress was never wrong.

I like this one a lot Abbie. My only issue is the word "Jerks". It seems to colloquial and immature for the rest of the piece.
