It’s conversation mostly
You listen to what others have been telling you
about themselves
about yourself
about laughter and tears and God
Some of them you’ve lived with worked with . . .
your mother
Bob Kurtz who hired you to help with the milking
Miss Bishop who made your memorize lines from Macbeth
Nelson your barber who talked louder than the radio he always kept turned on
Some of them you didn’t . . .
Amos
St Paul
Chaucer
Kierkegaard
Flannery O’Connor
Wendell Berry
You listen to them all
and yourself
and you get a sheet of paper
and a pen
and . . .
