Delirium in Mexico City
At Walmart I drop my Delirium,*
It sprays. "Mi falta," I say to the clerk,
I'm an agent of the imperium,
So it feels. I pay, thinking I'm a jerk.
Minutes later, I return to the store,
A new Delirium will soon be mine,
But they're gone, not one is there anymore,
They've hidden their superpremium line.*
Here as at home, sinners are forgiven,
"You break it--you buy it!"' does not apply,
Mexicans like gringos are now riven,
We self-serve and other-serve, sell and buy.
In Walmart's boxed temples, ethics converge,
Teotihuacan and Old North Church merge.*
In this temple, sinners are forgiven,
