The handiest answer to the
diminished popularity of a
caffè con panna, is the
tautological one, fashion.
Yet this escape hatch, it-
self fashionable, begs thequestion, is this Prada fa-
shion, vegan fashion, car-
diac fashion, diversity fa-
shion..? Yet, we say, abor-
tion is not so much in fa-
shion, because we can't a-
gree whether it's murder,
or couples clamoring for a
constriction of choice. Nei-
ther one is much in fashion.
Murder is down, possibly as
a bizarre function of the
rising trend toward suicide;
and people who had been up
in arms for a choice between
Republican or well-behaved
Congressional oversight have
begun to constrict their
choice to ill-behaved inter-
rogations run by Democrats.
But we hear this was not a
choice, merely the nudge of
being human. A more fright-
eningly accurate definition
of fashion might not exist.
Fashion keeps chugging on:
who's paying for it today?
Maybe some of them, humans.
