Twenty-First Century 003: September 3, 2006 [listen]

M is for Marketing

Branded back-story
Ensconces a still
Worth filmy words--
A picture moving
Approved messages:
Documented verity
Truthful lies laid truthfully.

Passion condensed.
Reason distilled.
Palpable bits and pieces reflecting
      deified/demonized
Representations of metaphorical
Transparencies, obvious assimilies
Reckoning the living...

As advertised.

Where to Now?

Where to now--
Entranced by ambience
The Howl is fading
Into dissonance--
No turning back.

Not off track--
Capital security, vaulted
Intelligence, stock-
Piled, yet disposable,
A supposedly durable good
To triumph over evil.

Champion this--
Ever expanding solutions
In short order
Arrangements negotiated
To fit the calamity,
Keeping society in check.

Something has to
Give Nature context:
Overviewing sight at
A distance; determining
The long term
Commotion that is
Still going to live.

Gallery-Aged Echoes

The gallery exhibits
     Angels and saints:
     Visions portraying
     Voices finely;
     Collected first-hand--
     State of the Art.

The gallery displays
     Icons and models:
     Images fabricating
     Types synthetically;
     Documented second-hand--
     Alternative of the Art.

The gallery showcases
     Avatars and players:
     Installations simulating
     Scenes interactively;
     Enacted third-hand--
     Morph of the Art.

The gallery echoes
     Ages and dates:
     Days resembling
     Centuries historically;
     Stamped by hand--
     Civilization of Art.

Tricks of the Trade
(In a Variable World)

Opposing stories--
     Permeable messages
     Absorbing decisions

Layering images--
     Imprintable sketches
     Obscuring traces

Disrupting technologies--
     Interchangeable compatibility
     Obstructing adaptability

Troubleshooting incidences--
     Polemical stratagems
     Obtruding problems

Duplex Legacy

Lifestyle changes--
A cross reference,
Emulation euphemisms,
Worship connections--
Freedom systems
Extending preferences.

Talismans--
Handheld reminders
Environing policy obsolete,
But not broken--
Needing upgrade
To advance compatibility.

Issues--
Fixed resources,
Remainders operating,
Functioning at capacity--
Not prepared for
Full-scaling.

Duplex legacy:
Pulled to the next level;
Pushed over the edge.
