(I plead the hot weather, along with recent talk of things typographic.)
(WARNING -- fairly formal verse follows!)
Caret
Insert here: the punctuation that will make
sense of it all, nicely placed to demarcate
or subordinate or disambiguate
phrase, clause or other sentence fragment. A rake
combs pebbles to waves, reverses entropy,
orders a version that will be clean copy.
Insert here: the references that will support
arguments, conclusions, even their reverse
(for this is academic, after all), terse
exposition. Drop by drop from the retort
distillate curls through, colours paler liquid
in a vessel, last drop a final ibid.
Insert here: the on right word that like a knife
cuts away disinterest. Insert here: life.
