Sociological Love


Both Veblen and Vilar
Saw deep
Into the sleep
Of things that are,

To tell why men and women
So act
Or wealth attract,
Consumption human;

How men and women use
Each other,
Trickery of mother,
Labor refuse

According to their status,
And move
With grease called love
The social apparatus.
