cornerstones
support continuation
not a form or ideal
but something real
that would feel
the synergy
of a useful profit.
Any exchange has one.

Maybe today we run
evening dreams on radios
for all over the world
some people have no dreams
and have no radios
for a lack of cheap energy.

Memory
of free energy
seems like a dream,
after so many false hopes
that haunt to this day.
patents. and rumors of patents

A breakdown of vision
when scarcity rules progress
the two indicative of competition
for supply and for demand
as the big feeds the small
hopefully with mutualism
in recycling, reusing, and reduction

Because we're stupid and smart
we make disposable electronics
 non-recyclable diapers
   six-pack plastic that kills wildlife
while we work on cures for cancer
 adopt fatherless children
    smile on strangers

With a blindspot-
scarcity creates
to support continuation
all over the world,
haunted to this day
both in supply and in demand
by disposable life
