writing from a province who sent a man to run for Prime Minister who still
believes that Creationism's 'facts' such as a 6000 year old earth are
'scientific,' I find this take on the turn of the season is refreshingly
bracing.
As one who is never sure of such language in poetry, I've gotta admit,
Carlo, that you do it well, in that Cantos-like need to conflate so many
voices from the laboratories...

Only breath, words
