Madness

In this age of nearly perfect

madness, that has politicized

everything but politics, favored

minorities and women will be

driven mad by the suspicion,

whenever they are rewarded,

that they have been rewarded

beyond their merits by political

sentiment replacing judgment.

And Anglo-Saxon Protestant

heterosexual men will be maddened

by the suspicion that, if only

uncorrupted judgment prevailed,

they would be found more deserving

than they have yet been found to be,

and perhaps more than in fact

they are. This madness comes

when the lineages of faith

and craft are severed, and the truth

of anything cannot be known

because anything supposable

can be endlessly supposed.
