from The Codicils

His polonaise
was a work of 
some bravura,
taking the 
framework of 
the national 
dance, adding 
augmented & 
diminished 
chords in the 
root positions, 
ending with a 
feminine cadence 
excerpted from 
Macaroni & Cheese: 
52 Recipes. The
balance struck,
yin & yang
maintained—
there is no 
such thing 
as gender-
less culture.
