D'you remember John Adams?
Of course you do. We share
our youth, from war, poli-
tics, and (although he did
not say it), he implied, a
money frenzy commonly pur-
sued in the democracies.
On the other hand, sharing
Adams' dream does rely upon
an a priori seizure of cap-
ital, if not a government.
Government is old but money
is quite new. It is easier,
and so few need ever notice.
Our nations are for hire or
for let, and gold is always
fungible. They are cyphers
to allow to flutter by day,
to haul them down at night.
To be cut from that cloth.
