Radical

Tapering
to a point, conserving everything,
           this carrot is predestined to be thick.
                      The world is
                      but a circumstance, a mis-
                                erable corn-patch for its feet. With ambition,
                                imagination, outgrowth,

nutriment,
with everything crammed belligerent-
           ly inside itself, its fibres breed mon-
           opoly —
           a tail-like, wedge-shaped engine with the
                       secret of expansion, fused with intensive heat
                       to the color of the set-

ting sun and
stiff. For the man in the straw hat, stand-
           ing still and turning to look back at it —
                        as much as
                        to say my happiest moment has
                        been funereal in comparison with this, the con-
                        ditions of life pre-

determined
slavery to be easy and freedom hard. For
           it? Dismiss 
           agrarian lore; it tells him this:
                       that which it is impossible to force, it is
                       impossible to hinder.
