To A Believer in Corporate Kindness

Companies lust after profit.
They do nothing -- that is, squat --
if there's a chance of not
making something off it.

You see a soft heart beating.
Try being an executive
whose yields are down and has to live
through a hostile stockholders' meeting.

Capitalism works. It really does.
That's because it's selfish, greedy --
it ruthlessly exploits the needy.
It works because it's us.

"It works because it's us." This struck me deeply. Once more I've been sucked into the style, flow, and intellect behind this. It is with excitement that I search for more.

You write reviews that any writer would adore. I am very grateful.

It's very late where I am (Spain), and I'm going to bed very shortlly, but I shall be reading and enjoying much more of your work tomorrow. i'm very grateful to you.
