| sifting through the nuts |
| by Craig Kirchner |
| I’m sitting here on a humid
August Sunday afternoon sifting through a can of mixed nuts, wanting to write about ‘sitting on humid afternoons’ and worrying about plagiarizing writers old and new who have done similar. What could I say that hasn’t been said, or how could I know or not know? Can I be content with ‘I haven’t said it before’ at least on paper, at least on a Sunday afternoon, at least not in my underwear with a mouthful of pecans, waiting as I seem to be for evening to fall, to produce something incomparable, something so clearly original that it will make the Planter’s man tip his top hat, perhaps even remove his monocle? |
