    The oil smelled floral and musky, like a flowery animal.She kept right on stroking my body."It has lilac, jasmine, and musk from a rutting deer," she said.The words for the ingredients excited me. Lilac, jasmine, and musk, I said to myself. Lilac, jasmine, and musk, I must. Lilac, jasmine, and musk, I must. They sounded like an incantation. They sounded like the sexiest words in the English language.

    The oils we used on our torches and in our lamps have kept the darkness of night and predators at bay in our corporate and singular lives.

Oil was in one sense a residual and sign of community and social and cooperative sharing.

    The angry men know that this golden age (of fossil fuels) has gone; but they cannot find the words for the constraints they hate.
