"The meditating concept for this correlation between money on the one hand, and the enlargement of circles [of social interaction], as well as the differentiation of individuals on the other, is often private property as such."
—Georg Simmel
Thus, we are closer than ever.
Closer through money
though in exchange for this proximity
we have sacrificed
a culture of persons for a culture of things.
Our creativity is poured into pure acts of reification.
We are constantly caught
dividing each other down.
Dividing each other from each other.
Dividing each other from the idea of the human.
