Self-governance as much as possible, State control only when necessary, Limit what is centrally boss-able, Of bars to rad choice be highly chary. Family and ethnos and faith are all fine, But so is the state's ascension 'gainst them, The grievance against the state that is mine, Is its hiding all politics under its hem. Excessive central rule is oppression, One day our states will seem truly vile, Rad'cals must enjoy partial secession, We need a chance to pursue our own style. We're ruled by tyranny of the majority, We need to govern ourselves in sorority.

"Neurodeviation Rules" is a vibe, It's queer not gay, experiments not laws, It's a statement of pride from a new tribe, It's a banner flown to proclaim our cause.   It also has an opposite meaning, It says that we already run the world, It asks for our own redemptive greening, It suggests contrition, a pride flag furled. We the neurodeviant are funny, We're underdogs, society's losers, We're winners, with power, fame, and money, We're downcast beggars and gifted choosers. Let those of us who are lucky come out, Let's help the unlucky, put shame to rout. [Part III]

You probably do not remember me. We were in Frank Freidel's U.S. His'try. In Wigglesworth Hall in December we reviewed.  Remember Ali?  Ah mys'try. Earlier that same year was Roe v. Wade. Did we discuss it at dinner?   Maybe. I don't recall.  Old memories doth fade. They're wreathed in doubt like an unborn baby. Now I have a hopeful intuition of you and a colleague, in the middle, reas'ning well about life and volition, rene0wing the American riddle. The universe's moral arc is long, We're right when we know that we could be wrong. [Part II?]
