It's like reading Aubrey's Brief Lives -
Quirky aperçus divert me -
I picture Malcolm Lowry playing the ukulele, Turgenev dancing the can can -
Rilke's waiting to hear God start talking to him again -
Conrad's got a cigarette clamped between his fingers -
James Joyce is wringing his hands when he hears thunder -
I wonder what quirky minutiae will illumine my life -
Perhaps it will be my belief in UFOs -
Perhaps it will be the way I park the car -
All I ask for is no more than three pages -
