I have always tried to defeat convention,
and disdained its shaping of my freedoms.
But of late I find it creeping in to farm my
ways and thoughts and channel my expectations.
I am resisting, of course, but how can one resist
language and history, even in this age of the
disturbing digital take on the world.
Convention is there—it always has been—and who
can deflect orthodoxy?
