All and Sun-Dried Popularity

Give me no thank you
And give me breath
The stage is where rage
Concentrates on noise

To be heard is the goal
There is not space
Between time and people

Such trash travels well
Its sweet stink brings the rats
Onto the deck of this dry-docked ship

Nibble nibble, sweaty teeth,
Anxiety is sophistry in dental garb
How many molars make a mol?

How many cavities 
Bring pillow fame
To money mouths?

Today smells like a special economic zone
Where factories can do what free buildings do
And emit and oppress and contain

Thank you, Ayn, your vision 
Has made our world
In the armpit hair mold
Of a cowardly economist

Our standard of living
Has never been more dire
In exchange for value at democratic
Market prices

Republicanism, represented by bought politics
And paid politicians,
Voted for by yours truly 

And every thoughtful monk
Who just happened to get to the monastary
Before the TV ate the radio
And the Internet dissolved 
The points and clicks and means
