after one too many

after one too many
cheerful reviews from
the industry about
industry products, a
renewed realization
that the media was

sooner or later,

sooner or later,
or for some time already,
we will find ourselves
in the same shoes, one

corporate legalese
that secures them
a place at the table –
in the board room,

has been sending me
embossed invitations to

just as dirty

Death is like going to Bloomingdale’s.
– Andy Warhol

there is something
foreign about
retail, a brilliant
sheen
that brings
a glint
to day-to-day-to-
day-dulled
eyes, an electric
humming to
consume, a rebirth of
self no longer
recognizable, a perfect
and ageless death
