The Count Is On

How many become posthumous dedicatees?

How many know what this is?

How many avoid as 'metaphysical' this whole notion of interest and just find focus in the probability question?

How many see this as a diversionary query barely masking an anxiety toward death?

How many see this as involving only one pampered class who feel they may ignore concrete problems?

How many would trample all this under horsehoof, tanktread, jackboot to clear the knot in their throat?
