He’s such a competitor always out there
Except when he’s hurt but even when
Such a complex mix of the concrete and the abstract
Arises or presumably already rests within or around
As for example an economy of attention of desire the profit motive
Which must strive for equilibrium or surplus
With the needs wants whims fancies
Sometimes spontaneous but usually stimulated
After immense research and programmatic anticipation
The spectrograph the paint chips and the floor samples
Trying to invent a light without a source of light
Not that internet crap but the establishment
Of real cause or rather since cause must remain indeterminate
As for example in/is the freeplay of the
Theory of choice theory of society theory of I’m trying to use the phone
The binary opposition of the binary and the non-binary
Don’t ever tell me the odds we are men of action
As for example can fall off a horse and dance a little
As for example illustration and obscenity
As of iron-clad correlation and character was never destiny
As of the rock-solid contender
And reduced therefore to the coin of the realm
As for example the players are the equipment
Or you can’t fool me there’s one born every minute
And the state lurches from crisis to crisis
And it all started with we’re looking for people with a passion for
It all started with be all that you can be
It all started on a dark and stormy night
It all started with footprints in the sands of time
It all started with imagine a world
It all started with piggybacking on what they said
It all started with a stepping stone
It all started with a slippery slope
It’s the very picture of a picture perfect pretty picture
And I’d like to get those numbers down
Or up or whatever
And you can or can’t pick winners and losers
