Sonnet 91


Minimalist furnishings take skill

And it's often desirable to force

Removal of "objets" that make one ill;

Making room for one's Tang Dynasty horse:

Keep up peeps - it's not stuff gives us pleasure,

This house is a box where we eat and rest,

Our Functionality's  true base measure -

Let cyborgs do what we used to the best.

Dirty sex bacteria's lost on me,

Zoopla's* where to quantify human cost

In real estate where real status can be

Found, where one's "perticulers"  are one big boast .

"Wretched in this alone, that markets take

 This away, and me most indebted make"
