Generation of Strainers:  A Life on Paper

 

I lived, I wrote about it, the writing took over.

A life on paper.  Well, at least I left a record.

I had fun doing it.  The Buzzard Cult enjoyed it.

Orthodoxy is an obstacle the eccentric must pass.

A hurdle.  Can you get past the gatekeeper?

Some folks call it genius.  Some say it doesn’t make

a dab of sense.  Wouldn’t hit a lick at a snake.

Had other priorities.  Danced to his own drummer.

He wasn’t lazy he was self-motivated.

He didn’t have a restless urge to write

he had the passion of his convictions.

The work came of its own inner necessity.

How can one take credit for it?

It’s humbling.

I stand as a witness.

A witness to/survivor testimony.

I think this is what happened.

I think I remember.
