It's started

  That reflex for a shower,
  after the latest infusion
  of Clintonism, which may
  be defined as the nausea
  arising less from the as-
  sault, than from the tem-
  erity of its excuses.

  Is one really to be com-
  pelled to endure this a-
  gain, on the pretext of
  progressivism? 

The lead in one's back pocket

    They say we
    don't have
    seasons, 
    who've nev-
    er met the
    tide.

Not too early, I trust?

   I've commissioned a draw-

   ing from a man whose blog, 

   (he says) is a diary. Oth-

   ers declare their reasons.

   Like all public interven-

   tions, this young form in-

   vites skepticism; and that 

   is possibly enough excuse.

   Which came first? 

   That vice has agility, and

   a lack of calm, legs which

   keep it trustworthy. There

   is no such thing as a com-

   placent skeptic; and it of-

   fends not just us, inherent-

   ly, if conceit postures as 

   intellectually conservative, 

   but the sloth it would be.

   It's not too early, then, I

   trust, to think about one's 

   game?

        One obvious reason was of course

        the need, particularly acutely

        felt after the excesses of ideal-

        ist metaphysics, to discover a

        criterion for the exclusion of

        what was literally nonsense.
