October pivot

Gésbi

      

        there has not been

        a more absurd or bi-

        laterally evasive elec-

        tion.

      

        We've seen this much:

        there is one Party which

        does not want a nation in

        this land, and another which

        is unable to admit its neglect.

  red mug, blue linen is 

  not a public policy page, 

  but even we can see this 

  sideshow as the restaurant

  that it is.

        the world is full

        enough of restaur-

        ant critics, osten-

        sible food enthus-

        iasts who feed the

        their strangest

        dire necessities.

        It is the same in

        the displacements

        of our politics.

        

        But you knew that.

        So who will come and

        tell us that the truth

        of Pinot Noir is in our

        power to erase, and we

        are doing it?
