But suppose The panel is not there; that I Still man the lever, tout wares, pry Stuck doors apart. My “Face the front” Says all that automation won’t. It puts a human face on ups And downs, the accidental stops, The Angst of the betwixt, between, Of gravity’s avenging spleen. A buzzer can inform the blind; By lighted numbers deaf are signed. If sill and car do not quite meet, The wheel chair’s is a small defeat Programmers did not contemplate Or access laws ameliorate. Of course, I could have saved the trapped, Or any other handicapped; In blackouts reassure; disrobe The suffocating claustrophobe. In cap of some Saint-Cyr cadet, Mess jacket smart in gold and jet, Unwilting crease of fitted pants, Impassive in my rigid stance I make a job thought of as dull The hunting ground of Felix Krull. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If in my “Cigarettes, Cigars,” There is no mention of their tars, And though my manner hints at tips, “Filter “ does not cross my lips, I’m finding out, as fewer smoke, It is tradition I invoke, Tradition being what lives on When any need for it is gone. Why is it “hat- check girl" we say Of one who puts no hats away, Hats having followed Windsor knots Toward Limbo after Slow-Fox Trots. A cry of “Acapulco Gold” Might sell me out but see me fold, The ringside tables being Narcs, D.A.’s, and Vice Squad. Needle Parks Have moved indoors?

If I were duenna to the world I would inform it Its urges can be dealt with, even as they storm it. The checkrein to attraction is the eye averted; Elopements are avoided by the house alerted, Or--plucking fangs out of the eager adder-Removing crucial rungs from every lover’s ladder. Desire is said to be insatiable. It isn’t. Self-interest can curb it; folly be imprisoned. Obsession yields to common sense applied with rigor. Failing that, there is the convent, or the trigger.

The Visitors can view the dinosaurs only from across the water, The distance lending an air of timelessness to the concrete Forms. When I revisited Crystal Palace Park after an absence of thirty years, the dinosaurs still looked as lithe and lifelike as I remembered. In the slanting rays of the evening sun They really did look like visitors from out of Deep Time. --Henry Gee, In Search of Deep Time As usual, the High Victorians convince. It is a comment on the lack of vision since. Could we of some few bones and dreamed-up Latin names Create such archetypes no later knowledge shames? So bold, so plausible as to suggest we erred In finding Piltdown Man essentially absurd. The Exhibition Hall itself, the Palace, rose A second time, transported pane by pane to pose This question: was it deconstruction pre-Foucault Or sign prefabrication is the way to go? No critic of its roof or glazings said they leak; And when it burned to ashes Abdication Week It was as if the Prince Consort had set that fire Time-traveling from Osborne--perning in a gyre?-To spare the crystal shell what now might be its use: Casino gambling, Rock concerts, a solar mews. Prince, did the transatlantic cable mean for whales What pipelines mean for caribou? Did Old Wives’ Tales Of Luddites libel glass as industry and trade Whiting a sepulcher? Denounce as frail charade The endlessly repeated modules and their panes Whose weakness tempts to rioting and what it gains? Ned Lud will always surface to denounce advance; Houses of glass always succumb to stones and chance.
