O The Irony

O the irony. I need, unfortunately, to state the following: Read everything as if it were in quotation marks--even this. Yeah, yeah, what about the previous entry in which I chastised Albert Goldbarth for using quotation marks: but there he employed them around only one word, while here (there, here: fort da!) everyting is equivalent--the most democratic attitude in the universe.

I've been traveling: hence the lacuna in entries. Now I'm in Chicago--OK, really, Northbrook. Yesterday, I was in Indiana. The strangeness of time and place. The oddities of experience and event. My friend in Indiana said that my basic, core belief was that everyone was insane.

No disagreement there. Yet it was in response to a comment--remember the quotation marks--that I had no core beliefs. So both are true and not true. In a hundred years, in fifty, will anyone care?

More important: does anyone care now?
