A theme I often touch on:              There's a ghost of a manifesto
                                       lurking in all this, still
    The primacy of fiction and         missing from these pages...
    the role that stories play
    in our thinking.                                  MANIFESTO

    Back at the beginning:

      DESPERATE

         maybe i've been overdramatizing
         maybe i've been underdramatizing
         esthetics the first and final word


It might be best to start over,
then trace it back.
