Breaking News: Kroger to buy Albertsons

Another merger, just as the prophet 

     Marx predicted.


Capital never sleeps. 

     In continuous motion


to suck all that its forked 

     and flicking tongue 


can reach in its craving to beceome

     multinational, multi-planet--


all-dominant universes —Black Holes.

     (Let's give them names--Walmart. Chevron. Disney.)


And we the ruined shops and souls 

     are their fuel.


And we are the stars that twitch then

    vanish over their event horizons, 


torn into invisible bits

    where once we were whole beings 


who created all manner of gods and angels 

     to save us from all manner of hells 


but who are helpless before a force

    that swallows light itself.
