I updated the spelling. Such observations are always appreciated. My spelling tends toward the mediocre. I should probably credit Donald Hall with some of the inspiration here. I'm reading this great book of his poetry (White Apples and the Taste of Stone: Selected Poems 1946-2006) and he had an accordion figuring into one of the poems. It seems like it was supposed to stand for something, and as I started trying to figure the poem out, it occured to me that as goofy as accordions are, they are actually pregnant with all this symbolism.

I never would have thought of it, but it makes so much sense--in the way you describe the not-making-sense of life . . . ;) (But . . . I'm pretty sure it's "lederhosen.") I REALLY like this analogy.
