Ideology Critique
“a case of false wax”
as if false consciousness
was discharged onto the apple
by some capitalist cretin.
“Cinderella syndrome,”
as enviros chant,
but it’s really just an enormous red apple
served in everyone’s lunch,
puts them off fruit for the long haul.
However, they appear sparkling edible at the Prince’s ball.
What’s the lesson?
You can’t judge an apple by the cover of some advertising manual.
