Black Friday
How can one day last a weekend?
How can one day last a week?
How can one day last a month?
Welcome to Black Friday
A slow and steady
Insidious drip of deals
Starting in October and
Heading into Advent
I remember January sales
And silence for the rest
Is this what peak consumerism looks like?
Continual dynamic pricing
So derided by the ticket buyers
Now applied to all we see
What more do I need?
A new TV
No, just a bottle of ink
And a book in which to write
And maybe a 3-D printer
Thoughts
Sometimes you just need to fashion a massive thumb and stick it on the streets of Paris.
