Marketing of Theory

"I don't trust mugs and T-shirts.
They steal your propaganda." "So what if they do?"
The protagonists consider.

Mud, with a fringe of snow
that seems to mirror their remarks.
But the audience is well warmed by viewing a good fire.

"'The world is a fantasy of subtext,
without systematic confederates.' What do you think of that?
Too paranoid? Not paranoid enough?" "Um... Google it."

-- Glenn R. Frantz
