I think
the combination
of age
and the greater coming together
is responsible
for the speed
of the passing time.
It's six months now
and i can tell you
truthfully
few periods
in my life
have passed
so quickly.
I
am
in
excellent
physical
and emotional
health.
There are doubtless
subtle
surprises
ahead
but i feel
secure
and ready.
As lovers
will contrast
their emotions
in times
of crisis,
so am i dealing
with my environment.
In the indifferent brutality,
incessant noise,
the experimental chemistry of food,
the ravings of lost hysterical men,
i can act
with clarity
and meaning.
I am deliberate
- sometimes even calculating -
seldom
employing histrionics
except as a test
of the reactions
of others.
I read much,
exercise,
talk to guards and inmates,
feeling for
the inevitable
direction
of my life.
