the mythless man
Undernourished
Because of his exclusive diet
Of Illusion
The Mythless Man
Stockpiles more products
Than he has the time to,
Realistically,
Consume
He requires the constantly renewable jouissance
Of the value exchange
Of that moment
When his labour
Represented as Money
Is swapped for the Other’s labour
Represented by the Product
In a sense
The Mythless Man
Is buying Time
Terrified,
Not only of Death,
But of his own purposeless Life
He endlessly postpones
His Day of Judgement
In the delaying tactics of
Constant purchasing
He avoids the meaning of time
(and thus of being)
Focusing instead
On its reification,
And ongoing replication,
In Collectables.
This is how he earns his
Customer Of The Month
Award.
