A PORTRAIT OF THE GARBAGE AS A TRASHCAN

CLEAR METAPHORS FULL HEARTS CAN'T LOSE

I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in political science. I have
like, fluency in explaining the historical debates over and nuances of
presidential war powers. I can hold forth on the subject of
objectivity—especially if you give me 20 minutes to skim THAT NOBLE
DREAM beforehand. I was also once told that I had a fluent grasp of TS
Eliot’s The Waste Land. I did pretty damn well on the SATs.

And yet, I don’t have trouble admitting that Lana Del Ray, and the
debate over her, utterly eludes me. I understand NOTHING about the
whole thing. I cannot even find my way in to the maze.
