Thank you to Katie Mottram for this. Yes being ones self is sometimes difficult, we often to sacrifice our self for our reputation as Nietzsche put it. Here is one of my poems about how Ive careered around doing this. Pun intended, not least because the sacrifice can because need to pay the bills. CAREER I leaped into misty ravines landed on a soapy ledge slipped down, stopped held by nylon ropes that I couldn’t untie. Above me, footsteps came and went: echoes, Nietzsche, Jung, Plato, Louise Brooks, Doctor Who, who taught me undoing. “What happened next?” I let go, slid into banking, wrote poems on vouchers. Their findings appeared on screens and ledgers. “And?” It paid the bills. “You’ve had a career.” You don’t know my career: failed affairs, schemes, utopias. My failures work better now. I’m not the one I thought I was.
