tail does wag dog 6/8/19

every word spoken or written 

has a tail-wagging the dog promise.

the scrutiny of meaning

has a think-tank of analytical potential.

capitalism and psychology 101

bound together, have found a means 

to create this reverse phenomenon. 

what you have said 

from what you have thought

has a potential to create

purchase intervention.

for we can come to know your value terrain

with such clarity 

that we can become ‘spendipity’ into consumption.

we can have you on a fast-track

to impulse connectedness,

to desire-plain immediacy.

we can eventually disenfranchise 

your entire existence

into short terms neediness, 

where every next thought can be 

about purchase potential at hand.

we can create a false sense of occupancy

which defies any reasoning beyond consumption.

there can be a tizzy in your day

made possible by personal indulgence,

by the extension of false needs

and the necessity of impulse response.

nothing less than consumption into construed.

side-bar listlessness, 

although becoming present and nagging,

can be bought off by new purchases

and the expounding of their virtues 

to become your present life.

as your life becomes more deeply symptomatic

some unnamed but definitely present enigma,

purchase power can become a remedy.

eventually one can buy off time-spent

by the use of curiosity, fantasy, self-indulgence,

and all forms of mind-occupancy

in the matrix of self-consciousness.

even though the classical physics would say:

dog wags tail, 

as a sign of attention into excitement,

we can eventually come to say

tail wags dog,

as a success 

of capitalism’s use of psychology 101

to reframe and redirect

how habit and values 

can be successfully manipulated

into a presumption of purchase solutions

to end one’s unceasing boredom 

within their self-conscious life.

tail wagging dog 

becomes good for business . . .
