Enlightenment
When I was not born, everything was very cold, the people having just been Enlightened-- men, mostly, and middle- to upper-class, the powder shaking over stiff curls and leaving a fine white dust. We prefer the poets and hair chopped short or tied with a soft velvet ribbon, waving, twitching, not stiff. We are not kind to stiffness and the rational, reasonable, orderly, propositions one and two and the conclusion that, Sir, in very long sentences this must be so.
They were corrupt like us and we prefer to remember the whiskey.
