"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

Of life

NaPoWriMo Day Thirty. The end, for now.

What a beautiful
commodity. 
Stock and bond, sale and trade,
eyes overworked and quietly
yielding a tear - not of sadness, 
or at least not of loss. 
There can be no such waste,  
not when there is so much
left to do, still to push - price tags 
need printing and sticking, 
inventory... Well, who cares 
about inventory, the computer 
can just make more, 
can just pinch and remodel
forever and 
ever, 
until all we have on offer 
is a famished facsimile. 
But imagine the profits!
