"Love as a Space-age Polymer" by Randall Martoccia Girl, we've got a non-biodegradable kind of love. One day the icebergs will melt, the gulls squawk no more, but you'll find me as loyal as a latex glove slapping forever against your Jersey shore. The buffalo will corrode to bone on the withered grass of the sun-bleached plain, but you'll find me stubborn as Styrofoam, defying the poison air and acid rain. The earth will someday burn and crack and the sun will vaporize the last of our race, but like the last two cans in a six-pack we'll rattle through space in a plastic embrace. So crack me open and let our love disperse and contaminate the whole damned universe. About the Author  Randall Martoccia is a lecturer in the Department of English at East Carolina University. He has taught courses on film, satire, American literature, and the short story. He has written numerous screenplays and has co-directed, co-produced, and regrettably co-starred in a short film, "Charlie-Go-Round."
