You asked me what I was doing now
\nWhat something I was using to fill the hours
\n\u201cJust… writing,\u201d I said, looking down and away
\nYou are unsurprised<\/p>\n
\u201cThe writer on herself\u201d
\nIt\u2019s my latest mot du jour
\nOf course you\u2019d say that all of it’s about me, that I\u2019m self-involved
\nand anyway ethnocentricity in writing is unavoidable<\/p>\n
You ask me don\u2019t I ever get sick of it?
\nThe unslept nights, the hungry stomach
\nThe constant sideways battle to edge words between lines
\nor into the small hours<\/p>\n
I smile sadly and step back
\nAnd you nod and sigh
\nAnd it finishes, as it always did
\nwith you never hearing the wrong answer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
