Stories
Fiction, or close enough. Something that nobody is going to publish and, statistically speaking, few people are going to read, which gives it a certain freedom. I like stories partly because they permit one to say things that would become unbearably pompous if stated as propositions, and partly because memory has never shown much respect for the border between what happened, what might have happened, and what should have happened.
