the corner store

  so the Girl played proletariat in the high morning,

and decried Amazon and Jeff Bezos as late stage capitalism

and so the Girl in the afternoon began to read Edward Said

and decried the evils of self-orientalizing in this day-n-age.

the Girl in the evening began to turn off the aircon

and decried it as polluting the environment

the Girl for supper did not have any meat or milk

and decried the cruelty of separating mother from calf.

but the Girl for dessert had unethical ice cream where

minimum wage was not paid,

but the Girl ordered her Converse and her H&M fastfashion

from sweatshop workers in BangladeshVietnamYouNameIt

but the Girl ordered textbooks on Amazon!

but the Girl had a Dell childlabor laptop!

but the Girl ate foie gras!

but the Girl denied everything-

"for there is no ethical consumption under Capitalism"

the Girl said.
