Where are the Agoras? (poem)

Where are the ‘agoras’?

The markets of dreams
The dreams of markets
The agoras of ideas
The ideas of agoras

Expired ideologies
Antiquated chronologies
Time is linnear
History is not cyclical

Modernisation
Progress
Evolution
Constitution

Show me the way to the next free agora!
Said the thirsty traveller
There is no such thing as a free lunch!
How about dinner?

Breakfast at Jennifer’s
Lunch at Laura’s
Dinner at Deborah’s
Sleeping under the stars

Where are the agoras?
Property of the mind
King of the market
Queen of the mind

"Merchants of Dreams"

Right moves
Adverture movies
Right things
Wrong people

Hope springs
Dreams' falls
Wild rivers
Quiet lakes

Oceans apart
Fluid states
Come within
Go far away

Travellers and settlers
Cowboys and desperados
Pirates and heroes
Traders and protectionists

Servers and protectors
Defenders and center forwards
Playmakers and centers
Batters and sacrificers

Quarterbacks and running backs
Green bucks and Euros
Free traders and free grazers
Ladies in luck and Ladies of luck

Saloon or Casino?
Love or In Love?
Greed or Passion?
Passion or Fashion?
