Our work has only just begun. The chaos to come is real and yet all part of the game. Situation normal, all fucked up — whoever came up with that — “snafu” — a f*****g genius!

I only learned about the Double Dactyl today for the first time via the great Sean Johnson and his exploration of Wendy Cope’s “Emily Dickinson” on The Daily Poem Podcast (in my opinion, the best poetry podcast since The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor ).
