‘just be an ordinary Joe’ said Jon
when I was explaining that
I was losing the anxiety
of searching for hidden treasure
in bookshops and reading
in collecting books-I-will-read
for decades on the shelf
in forcing myself to finish books
that have become numb
searching and searching
for the vindicating angle
of my whole life
he didn’t listen to the part of me
‘losing it’ but then again
I didn’t fully acknowledge
the anxiety I was losing
he was more right
