The Great God Pan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is back<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and in business<\/p>\n\n\n\n

according to an article<\/p>\n\n\n\n

appearing in the Times<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

yesterday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was never really away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

just decohered<\/p>\n\n\n\n

from the human herd<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in general,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

though a few close allies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

over the centuries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, a new venture<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a seasonal restaurant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

roving the continents<\/p>\n\n\n\n

according to the needs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of the menu<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Idiotic to refer to things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

as \u201csimple fare\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but go ahead<\/p>\n\n\n\n

only if you have the ability<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to configure the crystal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

lattice, say of a potato sprout<\/p>\n\n\n\n

replicate the subtleties of young oak<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fragrance in the wind\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

haute cuisine is the applause<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of ornament and redesign<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but \u201csimple fare\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

celebrates atomic reduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

at Pan, the movement is in the roots<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a dense bridal chamber<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of mystery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No\u2014no maenads,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you have me confused<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with another god<\/p>\n\n\n\n

however debauch is welcome<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in it\u2019s pristine state<\/p>\n\n\n\n

genuine investigation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of intoxication<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally it will be called<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Great God Pan\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

because, you know,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cself-effacing…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming to a town<\/p>\n\n\n\n

near you, you\u2019ll know when<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll feel it<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
