3. Stop blaming Nixon/double-down hatred of Reagan.
4. Do it in the road.
5. Ascertain how robins generate the illusion of chins.
6. Stop drawing parabolic universes on Pringles.
7. Become inured to orientation in at best two spheres.
8. Either stop weeping at Tennyson's Ulysses, or memorize as party piece.
9. Lipstick the bathroom mirrors in fancy hotels:
"The sins against the Holy Ghost are presumption and despair." (Hilary Mantel)

HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK
Time is the bully anchor of the opposing tug-rope team.
The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.
-------------------------------------
"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."
