Poets publishing a back-and-forth,
which these days only rappers do.
Rebellious children eating paste as
they come down off sniffing glue.
Mimeographs, at least in the minds of
our youth.
Pathos as merely a dressing for proof.
“That's what she said!” (Replaced
by “phrasing.” It's for the best.)
Absolute monarchy, tired long before
its rest.
Current jazz, hard rock, and metal (as
cultural forces).
Unsupervised bike rides and obstacle
courses.
In mainstream science, spontaneous
generation.
Mentioning a “superhighway” while
seeking information.
The senses of accomplishment at most
high school graduations.
Half-decent alternative radio stations.
A heliocentric universe.
An earth where hive living is
considered perverse.
My readers' resolve and attention span,
My reserve of ideas, the tip of my
pencil, my plan.
