Some persons, of whom I may be one, are beset by the brevity demon. Obsessive-Compulsive Concision Disorder is an aggressive form of self-effacement, a weaponized modesty that clamors furtively for slivers of bandwidth under cover of a solicitous compunction over wasting a reader’s precious time. It’s a dick move, to be sure, and puts me in mind of Huan He’s line about birds “flying in the shape of a quick fuck.”
It’s not off point to mention a historical penchant for discarding people and goods as well as words. The fits have come in self-destructive spasms of transition followed by bouts of benumbed resignation to an ever-narrowing range of options. Yours truly downshifts his Journey’s tractor from cruising gears to pulling gears as the grade steepens and the trailer-load of tugged flubs accretes.
I live in Texas and devote much of my time to easel painting on an amateur basis. I stream a lot of music, mostly jazz, throughout the day. I like to read and memorize poetry.
