SMOKING POLITICS
It
is well-known that smoking
Isn't
good for the health,
But
it may not be generally appreciated
That
smoking, no less than politics, is divisible
Into
left- and right-wing manifestations,
With
the corollary of subnatural, natural,
Antinatural,
and supernatural distinctions,
A
corollary presupposing
Roll-ups
and cigarettes on the one hand,
But
cigars and pipes on the other,
The former left wing, the latter right.
Yes,
there is a communist equivalent
To
the smoking of a roll-up,
And
if this is subnaturalistic,
Then
the smoking of a cigarette is naturalistic,
And thus rather more liberal.
By
contrast to cigarettes, cigars suggest
A
conservative equivalent,
A
moderate antinaturalism which is transcended
In
the supernaturalism of a pipe,
That fascist equivalent.
