Breakfast With Dave - A Satire Poem by Leslie Philibert

If you describe cornflakes as an analogy for the
lumpenproletariat, add milk, then ergo you have
Hegel`s dialectical materialism.

Of course, I don`t want to get too epistemological
about this, but isn`t it a case of reification?
But who cares! I`m beyond thymos, and

in any case, Marcuse would call me one dimensional;
nothing true in a false system, so why don`t we
de-ideologise breakfast.Another cup of tea?
