The Randomness of Everything
07/20/08
I’ve written all my life 
and doctors don’t know what to make out of me 
and I’ve wondered: 
I’ve written books 
collections over almost thirty years of writing 
            love, 
             rape, 
             death, 
            sexism, 
             violence in America 
and I’ve wondered, 
if, say, a hundred years from now, 
if someone saw these books, 
what would they think? 
that I was a troubled soul? 
that I was obsessed with talking about my problems? 
or would they think 
that I talked about so many 
             random, different things 
that they wouldn’t know 
how to put the pieces together? 
well, I don’t know if anybody 
could figure that out 
not even a trained professional. 
not even me.
