Happy New Year Post

So it was New Year's and did you all enjoy yourselves I hope you did I'm glad you did or am I it's a terrible cliche and what do we hate more than being cliches living it up on New Year's Eve that social construction and if we do not celebrate we're snobs that's what we are elitists snobs or worse (both above and below) social outcasts muddled unfortunates or outside alien and is that not splendid to be above and below and outside at the same time it distinguishes us yes me and you and you and you the lot of us uncommon lot the mob entire but not like the old mob no that was the wrong one entirely we're in the right place now

And what's so wrong about a new beginning?

But are we not allowed to decide for ourselves, when to have the beginning, and how? A beginning every day, for instance - beginnings all the time. A life consisting of nothing but beginnings... Let's have nothing but beginnings... Nothing but beginnings...

Things are simple really. It is winter, and we are much in need of good cheer. Let us step across the threshold together; let us be together, for once. This is not weakness, this is not surrender, but simply graciousness, a joy in fellowship.

And that is how it begins. Insidious, is it not? The social construction
Who belongs, and who does not, that's all that matters, not what

I hate "New Year's". Happy New Year. (Late, as usual)

Three Things

Innocence is a slash in the face of experience.

"Only the past is immortal", said Delmore Schwartz. That's what Delmore Schwartz said, it's not a pure saying, but it's true

I like lamps. They wear shades, to shield themselves from the light.
