When Does Totalitarian Become Utilitarian?

What I like about being
Older is that I can count
Decades backward

Confidently. I knew
When the world you
Know was differently.

I have been teaching
Myself old tricks I never
Bothered to learn. At first,

I felt foolish, but then
I remembered that genius
Is the breath of the

Almost dearranged.
Put twenty two clichés
In a lovely kicking row

Together, then a hundred,
Then a thousand or two
Or more. I'm out the door.
