Not Sleeping

[poliphilo]

I don't sleep well these days. I'm not complaining; I'm just stating it as a fact.

I took extra pain killers last night. They didn't send me to sleep. They just made my head buzzier.

I lie awake and plot my novel.

The man next door works unsocial hours and has a terrible cough. Huh-hurr, huh-hurr, huh-hurr.

Those people with the yard dogs- how can they stand that incessant racket up close? They must be old and deaf.

The less I sleep the more intensely I dream. Last night Laurence Olivier was directing me in Macbeth. He was explaining his own greatness to me. "Maybe it's not where I come from," he said. "It's from whence I came."

Paul Brucker sends hello from long-ago Carriage House, etc.

Tony: What a pleasure it is to read about your journey through day to day and your reflections on what this means and feels for you. I read your entries every now and not very then, but it warms me to read your sensitivty and intelligence. I'll be in touch to see how I might enter this community of correspondence instead of simply ruminating silent and sometimes aloud to nobody who really seems to -- violin music, please -- listen, understand or care.
