Dear America (f):

This is a letter calling all curls
to the silk control
of better homes & gardens.
What I mean is, there is not much else to offer
but different versions of what you already have.
We have a word for that these days. It’s called
(insert product name here).
America is always at a loss.
(For what to say, & otherwise.) To try
is to succeed.
Do you have the latest
next
best
thing?
There is always a thief
in the attic. This country has gone to the dogs
or to hell – it is either
going, going, gone
or in the going, gone
anyhow. There’s not much else
to say, except
if you can’t save it, you can at least
save yourself,
if you buy products X and Y
& solve for both.
But because the parentheses
override normal precedence, you should first
find (m).

Somewhere along the axis of America
is you, the consumer, at n distance
from the origin,
making a deal at the crossroads
of two mutually perpendicular
planes.
