David Harrison Horton
No matter how many times you re-read
that section in Marx about use-value
you will still find it difficult
to spot the beauty in second world
brutalist architecture
or 1980s Big Three box cars
that came out of Detroit.
My date prefers Disneyland and baubles
to an unbranded tote.
It is winter somewhere, I tell myself,
and ruminate on that.
