I'M NOT THE RECEPTOR

I'm the watch, the restaurant, the car, the girl, the house, the
holiday,
Outside of the evidence of their presence, outside of their description
(other than the corporatisation of social prejudice),
Shopping, office politics,
Replicated, reciprocal imagery;
The illusion of status.

None of that! I'm all of that, yet more.
There's no paradox.
There's no parlance for sanctuary,
Like: "buy here".

Survival is the given order.
The given order provides everything.
There is no noncompliance.
There's nothing to rail against.

The given order:
Liberty redefined to suit the cult of pro and/or anti,
The cult of action.

Pleased with a Zen-like, non-partisan, non-receptor stance,
Gliding across the everlasting, benevolent, cobalt night sky
With beautiful thoughts of evil and perversity, in the first place
Inspired to assume what the information says it is ...
