CREATURES OF HABIT

We did not stray far from the cave
tracking footprints is now digital
We have an"app for that"
Businesses track customers' buying patterns
through continuous inventory checks
FACEBOOK's "Like"button assists friendsharing
Facial profiling allows one to be found in a flash mob
Surveillance can be remote or up close and personal
You are being recorded as you read this-
your digital eye movements replicated like M A Vs.
Profit and SECURITY incentivizse innovation in this-
we may have individual tastes
but we become a market when they concur
If you like this poem,
you may enjoy Mayakovsky ,William Blake and Charles Bukowski
Please fill in a brief survey @the end of this line
so we might better measure your shopping pleasure
