I’m creating a self-portrait. I never realized this before. I am creating the man I want to be in words. I am cataloguing all of my stories and all of my thought for the world. That is what a poet does. That’s my job. To be me and accurately report on it.
Sorry, I’m having a moment here. I’m in the middle of an epiphany—just like James Joyce—except I get to be stoned while I’m feeling in it.
Finnegans Wake is gibberish! It just felt good to write that. Sorry it was so abrupt.I’m going to get back to the responsibilities of being Tom Hardie.
I should call Dawn.
