Blank pages scare me; I fill them, so they’ll stop staring with that look like they know the feel of my hands and I’m supposed to smile back at them, I sit in a room younger than me with books older than me, and think about the quiet way the chair’s legs merge, with the floor, like the threads of a spider web, to make things cyclical. There’s irony in the way we try and put trees.
