Dearest Political Dilettante,
Humankind got you down? Well, you’ve
been wrong before. Here’s a thought: when
rising from bed of a morning, or happening
upon a friend or acquaintance, or greeting
your partner or lover, your child or a parent,
say, as you’re quickly going your separate
ways at the top of a day – or when first you
see either of them at the bottom of one – don’t
begin by rattling on about how you’d solve all
the world’s problems. A simple hello, a tip of
the hat, a peck on the cheek or even a “how do
you do,” will suffice, as a general rule of thumb.
With Much Love & High Hopes,
All of Your Chummiest Dumdums
