The current Laureate, who invites us to celebrate an entire Twitter,
as once she might have high-fived the Tatler, presents it as lead actor
or agent in the democratic theatre (I use the word figuratively and concur with
her that power should not be applied furtively). But brevity itself does not
signal the nativity of a new openness, a new commonweal of agreeable opinions.
I am as much in love with the equitable as she is; but even
so feel jilted and miserable; and sometimes tell myself lies:
Regarding creative freedom, its proclivities and tyrannical dominions.
