Oh yes,
it’s always a good pitch that does it.
Something to satisfy every contour,
to stretch across all the textures of your need,
or better yet,
something that dances you
right out of dancing.
Like the salesmen who know
how to unfold you
across every crease of your hunger,
make you buy and buy
what you already have,
again and again.
Each time,
a new trap.
A new detour.
A new delight
to keep you deluded.
And that does it,
brings you back
to existence:
for the glory of God!
for the sake of your country!
Maybe a good employee
creates more value
than they ever deliver.
Teamwork.
Brotherhood.
Loyalty.
All so convincing,
more convincing
than the tasteless truth itself.
