"Reports from the reality-based community
sound out: Ronald Reagan
was a really nice guy,
much nicer than Khrushchev,
Gorbachev, Nardwuar, or
which modernist shut-in was it
who threw his sculpture –
or was it his wife? – out the window,
in which period of architecture
at what stage of empire?"
-- from "Hot Peace" (West Coast Line 51)
