Microeconomic Spectacles

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.
