Buyer's Guide For the Nothing Seeker

Buy desires cheap;
sell wants freely.

Pour full the air,
and fill up with nothing.

Give lack of lack
as sacrifical offering.

Spoken like a true consumer. I can't figure out the 3rd stanza though. My guess would be that lack is the norm and lack of lack would be considered different and so is sacrificed to the god of consumer culture. Very striking.
