In last night’s telephone shrink session
8:30 PM perfect time
we discussed one of my ISSUES
not the biggest but an issue still:
what if I can’t ever write
a good sentence? The doctor
an unusual man who himself
has written many good sentences
said: well what would a bad sentence
look like and I told him the story
of going to therapy years ago
discussing my sentences (what if I am not
A Real Writer what if I am not
A Writer At All) and that therapist had suggested
I write a Bad Sentence because that was
my fear then and so I filled up a few notebooks
of pretty good bad sentences
and he said Do You Remember Any of Them
and I said The Big Dog Barked
and he laughed and I did too.
