“Not everyone is endowed with the vice of writing—the vice of writing—a limited number even—I wander sinuously—am i translucent?—I like twisting myself twist me—embrace me—So Im I’ll loved—for being so much loved—I’ll go much further one day I’ll stop the detox—I’ll stop writing—and I’ll rush blindly—whore or not—living dead with no way back—I’ll start with a suicide—I’ll no longer be blind—I’ll find it so hard to bear the idea of writing and reading in the half-light that I’ll forget instantly—never again will I win any victories—I’ll live in the sunshine because I’m strong and because spitting Indian ink is no more my profession than love”
