all language
is sex
at a remove
day & night the
sweet roar of commerce
above it all & always
a silent moon

day & night and the omnipresence of the moon--
I like how light and dark/all 24-hours get pulled together in this piece...it seems to offer an interesting, fresh take on 'time'.

Your post keeps me thinking. I like the poem...but it seems kinda scary the more I read it. Honest, on the mark and scary.
Language is sex is commerce—
communist dreams and socialist ideals
seem to stand no chance:
lose the commerce,
lose the sex;
lose the sex
and the words of every tongue
will buy it back for power
at whatever price free enterprise demands:
only what I want can feel good;
redefine sex as my good pleasure;
generations bred by intercommerce;
and I'll pay willingly and you'll sell willingly,
selling pleasure when I want pleasure
more and more and more and more.
it got me thinking, too

the line
"sweet roar of commerce" is sublime.
the language is sex thing strikes me as a kind of Freudianism after the linguistic turn, so to speak.

"above it all & always
a silent moon".......
.......a beautiful, lingering, lingerie moment. One to repeat often.
You've melted the veil here, for a most delicious moment,
mingo.
