Memories Are What You No Longer Want

I Closed The Box And Put It In A Closet. There Is No Real Way To Deal With Everything We Lose.

Somehow Writing Has Always Seemed To Me To Have An Element Of Performance.

What I Want To Tell You Today Is Not To Move Into That World Where You're Alone With Yourself And Your Mantra And Your Fitness Program Or Whatever It Is That You Might Use To Try To Control The World By Closing It Out. I Want To Tell You Just To Live In The Mess. Throw Yourself Out Into The Convulsions Of The World. I'm Not Telling You To Make The World Better, Because I Don't Believe Progress Is Necessarily Part Of The Package. I'm Telling You To Live In It. Try And Get It. Take Chances, Make Your Own Work, Take Pride In It. Seize The Moment.

I Lead A Very Conventional Life.
