• Company

for company
i like lots of MTV
stylish imagery, advised, connived,
and contrived to
take me far away from me
i like a cell-phone conversation
short enough to slip in the cracks of
the call-waiting-generation
i like a foreign film or two
if that's what everyone else likes to do
for company

for company
in the 21st century
i go to the club, talk through the show,
i'm so hip there's nothing about jazz
that I don't know
i read the critics evaluation
short enough to mirror the copy of
expensive public relations
i like a loud and noisy tune
if that's what everyone else thinks is cool
for company

for company
i like french philosophy
deconstructive obscurity
formalized, canonized, and dignified by
the university
i like a trendy indecision
weightless enough to forget the
forgetting of which
nothing bears repetition
i like an expensive aperitif
if that's what everyone else thinks is neat
for company

for company
i like down-sized efficiency
touch-tone community
digitalized, expedited, and systemized
for fiber-optic fraternity
i like a face-less congregation
plastic enough to remove
the discomfort of
intimate association
i like an ethnic look and feel
if that's what everyone else thinks is real
for company
