Inclusion
always implies
exclusion
a commitment
is required
& its requirement
suggests
the quality
of the thing
to which
you committed.

our prostheses permitting
inviting even
interaction with others
and other systems
our interfaces emitting
dull luminescence
contact and contacts
blinking against the darkness

we are processes
sites of efficiency
and convenience
how can you be
more accessible
where are you
wasting energy

what happens to the horizon
of your conception of self care
when you have more than you
could ever possibly need?
How do you proceed
from a point beyond any
determinable reference
back to a reasonable sense of self?

the warehouse shopping experience
creates both the sense and possibility
of plenty an Edenic thoughtspace
arrangements of fruits
recalling both ancient pyramids
and large-scale mining operations
laid out and labeled
with names and prices and weights
there is so much available
and it could be yours
just reach out and take it

Scale is an important factor
Many little things have an aura
different from fewer larger things
but pleasing to engage
Each small replica testifies
to the importance we place
on being in a right relationship
with our products, impressed
but not overwhelmed, not at once.

The sound of cart wheels
against polished concrete
a soft thrum pulse
the gentle florescence
cascading between
the cart wires refracting
on shrink wrap and paper
a sense of habitat
of needing and being needed

Minor pains, once borne
no longer intrude
no longer interfere
with our productivity.
We can imagine a field
erased by snow
though when closely
inspected found
to be instead leveled
with unimaginable numbers
of white pills, each pill
identically stamped,
ready to be taken in twos
every six hours
while the pain lasts.

Ritual cities capture
the spatial and spiritual
scope of cities
without the interiority.
Here, you recede
Between shelves and shelved
pallets, pace the crossways
and intersections, reflect
on your own surface
how you interface
with the unthinkable enormity
of the systems around you.
|

A kind of threshold
a place to hesitate
your cart still
beside you
White metal picnic
approximation
the bench's grid
resembling
the matrix
of relationships
you consider
chewing abstractedly

Restoration is possible
in contrast
the concrete and steel
ceding to the nite sky
each parking lot lamp
a votary
to the accomplishment
possible
through engagement
with goods & services
the clean breeze
slipping by you
as cool and smooth
as the handle
of a family sized bottle
of fabric softener
