CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE!

Corporations/people merge
In the facsimile of humanity
Projected on the screen
The image of hopeful
Fanatics
Throw/project words,
Emotions
That  seem human but never are


I remember when there was only the word
of mouth,
When hands were shook and babies
Sought out for attention.

I remember when planes
Flying high
created moments to look up
In wonder

When ambulances, fire engines were vehicles to
follow
down the street
just to see

I remember when food,
fruit tasted succulent
Sweet, sour, juicy
Drippling down my chin
When food left out overnight
Rotted and
Milk was consumed without worry
Of antibiotic over-exposure and worse

I remember walking to school and coming
Home alone, no key around my neck, the door
Always unlocked until it wasn’t
I remember
Eating dinner without the Television or music
Why is there music in every store,
Restaurant?


The chatter of my own mind
Over powered by words, sounds,
Privacy of thought, body, soul
Lost to the corporate necessity.
The blurred line
Dominates us all

We are the consumed
Consumers
A corporate creation
once human
