he didnt get upanout on the wrongside
of the bed in the morning then made it
but
he did get in on the
wrongside at night
to read
a greenglass bankers
lamp stood on the highboy beside the bed
among other books he was reading The Free World Louis Menand
from
Lionel Trillings Art and Fortune in The Liberal Imagination (I)deology is not acquired by thought, but by breathing
the haunted air . . . (It) is a strange submerged life of habit and semihabit
in which to ideas we attach strong passions but no very clear awareness of the
concrete reality of their consequences.
AHMEN brother
Their now Menand
political opinions may be rigid; they are not necessarily rigorous. They tend
to float up out of some mix of sentiment, custom, moral aspiration, and aesthetic
pleasingness.
Right on
Trilling Unless we insist that politics is imagination
and mind, we will learn that imagination and mind are politics, and of a kind that
we will not like.
Speakin to the choir
these were why he wouldnt get out
of bed on the wrongside didnt want to
soil them like loaves of bread nourishing
him he didnt want to risk dropping them in some foetid thing that would make
them unappetisingsuddenly moldy rancid
granted thats a leap
improbable
not
impossible
think that way
become
lax
just asking for it
however white male entitled
he
was not privileged
which is nothing more than pouring gas on an assumedrighteous fire
its been probably threeanhaffour
months out on the rightside in on the wrong
hes slept better than he ever hasdreamt
better than he ever has
might be a streak
it may not
though he was going to appreciate
the hell out of it while it existed
one voluptuous day at a time
