Microeconomic Spectacles
Beyond supply
beyond demand:
a constant factor
of boundless need
stretches across the universe
of indifference curves —
I perceive
through revealed preferences
that some are
lexicographic
for goods deemed infinitely
superior
and the opportunity cost
of the road not traveled
puts a toll on Pareto Optimum
equilibrium
while others assert
satisficing
should be sufficient.
On the elasticity of demand
for love
I am befuddled
lost in equations
drawn by the Invisible Hand
in multivariate space.

More intellectual than your usual poems. It works well. And comes back to love. 🙏🏽ellen
Thank you so much for your comment, Ellen! Yes, a bit different from my usual themes. I was whimsically trying to put together some amusing concepts I learned in Grad Sch Economics into a poem. I am so happy to hear from you that it works well. 🙈😅❤️
