Forty years ago

was just yesterday,

1984, when

And they have…

The prophet Yeats

knew the worst

would be full of

passionate intensity

and the best of us

lacking all

conviction.

future, of men’s

minds you only

have to look

back there, over

your shoulder

for some rough,

big brother beast

with a long-nail

finger in your face,

and fangs dripping

the sweet taste of

venom.

[Vol]

Whatever happens is what we made happen and we deserve whatever consequences there are for leaving behind the rule of law.
