Lawrence,

Not sure. He might have commented on Kant's disinterested observer.

I stand before the ocean.

There it is.

There's the ocean.

I'm looking at it.

The ocean. I see.

It's like the Louvre.

            Is it linear progress:

            Our Rock-Star lyrics?

            I wondered if my task

            Another direction.

            Chomsky told us we

            Must enter anarchy

            And I saw that we had.



            Fatigued, appalled

            I might be.  It thundered,

            Impervious to
change.

            It seemed enough here

            Watching her fade year

            By year to find the means

            To write a new Inferno.
