It would seem that, by and large,
the market is today's victor.
Things, even fine things,
need buyers.
Should you wish to set up shop,
like I have, outside the marketplace,
be sure to have a private
or public income.
Addendum: Zarathustra's Prologue
For all his reservations about
the marketplace, Zarathustra's
most powerful speech is
his opening one addressed
to those assembled
in the market.
