About life
I started writing a book.
Writing the book
Became my life.
About writing a book
I started writing a book.
Writing about writing the book
Became my life.
Meanwhile,
The mango plants in my garden
Bear delicious fruits.

This poem fits today: I’ve spent so many years tangling with how to write the story of my life that I can get pulled right out of actually living it. This morning I spent a little time in my garden, after four or five days being away from it. I was frustrated with myself because I hadn’t gotten out of bed early to do my morning pages.
