the perfect consumer
would be like:
mindless and rich
in
debt
I have been killed by commercials
I have let the speaker
suck my skull in like a plunger and
twist the vice of small-minded ideas
on my head one too many times
My life has been inundated
with millions of wasteful waves
that translate well within the ear
without the eye
and kill the brain
in an overdose that climaxes
with a seizure
and leaves me foaming at the mouth
with slogans and jingles
I have been taught so well
to listen accept and do
as if all words were gospel
and questioning is the
work of the devil
I have bought into it all
like a born-again Christian
THE STOVE IS HOT
I BELIEVE YOU
TELL ME MORE
