ambitions
today i wrote a letter to the editor
every letter becomes an article
every article an obsession
tomorrow i will write a book
after that
what?
a library?
yes the day after tomorrow
i will write a library
and when they come to drag me away
saying "you can't possibly write a library!"
i will smile kindly at them
and think
i know i am insane
what good comes of reminding me?
perhaps then it finally will be time
to plant my garden
but if a garden why not a forest?
yes i would like to plant one of those
plant a forest make a mountain expand an ocean
before i die
or go sane
