Shall I hie me to a cybercafe where the postmodern girls hang around all day with inscrutable bandannas tied around their heads and an issue with frappe?
Or let me sneak into a cocktail lounge, where in my pockets I will scrounge for change or courage of an earlier era, when I might have been said to be fairer.
Will I give up entirely on women, like the good ghost of Paul Goodman did?
Or will what Judge MackKinnon hid ever light the way?
Let me the canakin clink, indeed.
When I'm at port I get what I need.
Not Natalie Merchant nor hardly Sheryl Crow but a pint of IPA.
