Monday poem about capitalism

And if I dream of summer

Is it because I miss the

Warmth trickling from

The soil and the sun

Or am I craving the gold?

Am I so overfed on

Capitalist propaganda

That the richness of sun,

The decadence of heat

And nudity and sex

On the beach

Is so intriguing that

I've learned to crave it?

I am overfed on something.

It bloats in my gut,

Curdles on my breath,

And gives me this

Horrific burning

All throughout my chest

That if I'm not careful

Will start to sound

Like a warning

That this life is just

Not sustainable.
