    Thank God, too, for Sonny.

    Yet I'm filled with a great oppression knowing 
    that all that good sense, all that humour is probably 
    wasted.  No matter what protestations Frost or 
    Lennon or Hemingway or their countless brothers 
    & sisters may put up, the truffle hounds will continue 
    to snort around with their ugly snouts while moulding
    imaginary meanings & symbols out of their own shit.

    Can you imagine how it must be to waken in the morning 
    & know your name is Derrida or Foucault or Trilling 
    or Said or whatever & realise you must face yet another 
    day confronting your own sterility?  Another day in which 
    the only way of drowning out that dreary knowledge 
    is to turn up the sound of the buzzing while battening 
    on someone else's meat.
