Citizen Steak

In the grocery store, checks, debits and the bottom line groove to
the beat of "America at War." Packaged people socialize. Gold watches,
Gucci and a pinch of glibness, rib-eye, back-side, abs and tits. Select
choice cuts. Grill flesh over open flame of near poverty; be careful to
flip parties regularly. Leave the MTV on high. Prepare collegial sauce
of African-American Studies, feminist platitudes and suave
sophistication. Serve with a side of intellectual vegetables; Chomsky,
Achebe or even Bloom will do. Add a glass of iced Scotch to alleviate
Marxist bitterness. Here we have it: the perfect remedy for Hamsen's
"Hunger."
