commodities vs markets



    it occured
    to me
   as i mapped out
   my magnum O
    
   "the dynamics of enterprise" 


   maybe we get off base
   right at square one


   by talking of markets

   AND 
   by passing 

    the basic unit of analysis

   the commodity

   that 
    concrete bunch of buggers
   out there
   that contain
   all  the final whys
   and where ats 
   anyway




    instead of starting 
   with something 
   we can actually
    get our hands on 
   why do  we gotta 
    trapse 
   around yammering
    market market market

   easier to worship 
   perhaps
   no graven image possible

   what shit 
   idol worship 
   is
   every fucking
    marketeers middle name

   its 
   as if 
   those
    many splendored 
   transactions
   we cover by that
   one plain  term 
   "market"
    didn't carry 
    oh so various
   dangers 
   so many 
    spectral floatations

    " hardons to yer markets 
   and 
   let the reifying commence! "
    
   =====================

   I say 
   lets stick to 
   the real  unit 

   how 'bout it baby 


   lets stick to 
   commodities 

   two headed
   and marvelously
   self contadicting
   though they all may be

   at least 
   they're real "tings"

   right
   komrades ?
