"Would you
suggest writing as a career?" one of the students asked me.
"Are you trying to be funny?" I asked him.
"No, no, I'm serious. Would you advise writing as a career?"
"Writing chooses you, you don't choose it." |

wearing the collar
I live with a lady and four cats
and some days we all get
along.
some days I have trouble with
one of the
cats.
other days I have trouble with
two of the
cats.
other days,
three.
some days I have trouble with
all four of the
cats
and the
lady:
ten eyes looking at me
as if I was a dog. |
