I only read in little bits
I can't read on for long
because it fills my head
with other people's words
words are thoughts thoughts
words can't think my own
I do read making my way
through Proust a second time
enjoying it more familiar
third probably better still
a dozen pages a night
just before I go to sleep
also another book or two
at the same time and we
read aloud after dinner
Nabokov "Speak Memory"
at the moment plus NYR
then take a break to write
