Sound Bites

A short
Little blurb
Words that cut
And sparkle
Are there
Then gone
In their wake
A trail
In your head

The biter bites
Again, again
Again, again
More sound
And trails
In the soft
Gray brains
Of the
Target
Audience

Target-audience
The consumer
We are called
The audience
Passive vessel
To be filled
Directed along
The trails
Of the marketer’s
Dreams

We are a Nation
At war
The DOW
Is up today
Unemployment
Is down
The American
People
Free-Market
Tax and spend
Cut and run
The Greatest Country
In the world
You are
You are
You are

Either with Us
Or Against Us
Liberal
Or Conservative
Pro-life
Or Pro-choice
Hawk
Or Dove

We don’t want
The smoking gun
To be
In the form
Of a mushroom
Cloud

There are
After all
Only two sides
To every
Story

Trails grow deeper
In the brain
Focus group found
That one is best
Tie your message
There

How does it
Feel
What does it
Mean
Democracy
Useful end
Of the trail
Of marketing
Dreams

I’m fine
Supine
Don’t ‘mind
As long
As it
Rhymes
