BLACKOUT
The market forces me to think. Jung seeds
drive the economy. Well, influence is a truer word.
In the meadow, I created an acronym to stay on top of it,
and if you’re anything like me, you’d best memorize it as well:
C - competition
C - consumer preferences
E - economic conditions
D - demand
S - supply
of
P - price
G - government policies
G - global events
Call it a semi-sonnet, call it a crossword, call it
whatever. Tattoo it on your tits, sis. Whatever, young
blood. Just know it, and don’t ever forget it, so when it happens
you’ll not leap from a balcony or squat-top the TV for days in pain
over the effects of the burrow; a base device of the man-made. Quit it.
