“I had a deep conviction that I was good at writing, and that in some way I already was a writer, this conviction was completely independent of my having ever written anything, or being able to imagine ever writing anything, that I thought anyone would like to read.” - Elif Batuman, “The Idiot”


Geese scatter in the distance as I approach,

deterred by the footfalls I labored to make silent and slow.

 

I turn to avoid my impending doom,

I want to find my car gone,

I want to walk the twelve miles home,

 

to tear the asphalt from the Earth and watch

from where they lay undisturbed, alone on the crystalline surface

at the center of the universe.
