9 August 1998 - ironic stance
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
At last, my own fully-nuanced ironic stance!
For years I borrowed used stances from Catullus
and John Ashbery, but now I’m an equal partner.
Never again will you know when I’m joking.
clue:
Catullus is a big-name ancient Roman poet.
John Ashbery is a big-name contemporary American poet.
take oh take this clue away
