Three farmers meet for coffee

knowing what they know. Through
hint and understatement, they
file it Iowa cold. In

more apparent tone, three
Manhattan friends convene, their

chatter terribly keen,
yet reassuring. Both

groups know everything, so,
a question, then, of style. Each

laughs at the other: One seen in filth
and marauding blacks and browns,
the other doorstop-dumb midst corn.

The Comedy of Manners
depends on turf.
