Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
The Objectified Man (English)
The Objectified Man
'You buy a hundred books but don't read one,
and the library knows more than its librarian.'
John Owen
He buys things, tons of useless junk,
in his huge house he keeps a thousand bits of tat,
he spends hour upon hour just looking at his stuff,
so much so he's become a thing himself, the man's disappeared!
