“I tried to hire my mentally ill
brother,” he said. “I gave
him a knife. He’s
forbidden to touch them but I gave
him one anyways and
told him to
use it on me. That was my
strategy for productive writing. My
brother would stand by
the door
and I told him to cut me
down if I dared stand and walk away
from my computer. A
computer with no
internet connection, of course. Only
a word processor.
That’s all.”

“Impressive.
And how did
it work
out?”

He shook his
head.
“It didn’t. My brother got
very bored
and played around with
the knife
and hurt
himself, dammit.
Today
I imagine I’m locked in a cell
with a computer
and my captors made a
deal with me. You
have to write 50 poems
a day, they told me. Else you
don’t
get out of here. It’s
an okay method
but I still would’ve
proffered the first one. My brother would’ve
made some money too.
I’ve life insurance.”
