BRUTALITY, DOROTHY, RE-ENTRY

Self-Savagery 51: Ah, the abstract brutality of the world: You'll never take it's measure. Just when you cannot contemplate your brilliance, and the world's ignorance of this, things will change; and you will become more brilliant, and the world will turn it's back yet further.

In the words of (I believe) Dorothy, at the point when the boat is about to sink at the end of The Wizard of Oz:

'I'm feeling very strident baby
Strident on this theme
The world is just not fair babe
There is no karmic scheme'

Or, if I may indulge your patience, in the words of myself:

'If flair is combustible,
Then I will fry
Upon re-entry
My wings will melt and die'
