The Tower Of Babbitt

________________________________________________________________________________________________

"The more some folks love people,
the harder they try to make them miserable"

***

Men were feverishly getting rid of visitors
in offices adorned with the signs
This Is My Busy Day  
 and
The Lord Created The World In Six Days:
You Can Spiel All You Got to Say
In Six Minutes

***

The large national advertisers
[defined]
the surface of his life,
[defined]
what he considered his individuality.

These standard advertised wares
--toothpaste, socks, tires, cameras--
were his symbols and proofs of excellence.
At first, the signs, then the substitutes,
for joy and passion and wisdom.
