Avoirdupois

in a world
where consumerism
resorts to
psychological warfare,
the ultimate
desire to increase
ownership
- branded
as labels
re-creates
this parallel
dimension of
urban robotic
paganistic expression

‘piece meal relief’

the gods
modernised
re-designed
updated
zeus – refashioned,
reproductions
of mass produce,
there is
calvin and dior
gucci and more
whose worshippers
loyally give
of their life blood.
offerings are made
to the old ones
who reward
this charade
with finery
as these
pagans parade
their empty
lives
in place
of
their lost divinity.
