we fall in love with first
how it’s willing to offer us
the most fantastic things
so that we who once believed
in Santa and the tooth fairy and God
now believe in the abstractions
of money and material science
with the same religious fervor
that once typified the mysteries
of the ancient worlds but
with none of the real excitement
none of the reverence or terror
the gratitude or joy
that shook the initiate’s core
