Das Kapital*

[TranquillityBase]

Coming to the poem, I didn't quite latch on to the part about the coat and the linen talking.
The spelling of bourgeoisie is off!!!

Never can get bourg.... right.  I believe the poem (written 20 years ago) was based on Marx's chapter on Commodities, probably as far as I got reading Capital.  If I can find my copy, I'll skim it and see if I can decern the source of the mysterious communications among commodities.  It meant something at the time.

Thanks for reading and responding.

"We see then that commodities are in love with money, but that 'the course of true love never did run smooth'."  

I find lots of poetry in Das Kapital.
