“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

The Snow Man
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

The noise of him landing on Satan’s Squeezebox would be glorious.
Is it too much to expect that one might walk in the wilds without being assaulted by the cacaphony of some wanna-be circus act in training? WTF!
Ammo would be a waste. Stick in the spokes should do the trick.
7:18 am. Only two cups in. I could have just moved on. Instead, I hit the arrow. What was I thinking?
And you guys make fun of Florida Man.
At least Florida man thinks he knows what he’s doing.
