Diary: Last night as I was going to sleep to the words of Montaigne on vanity (“There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly”) I had one of those sightly terrifying moments, as on many nights past when I’d piss in the middle of the night and see my mortality reflected in the porcelained pond before it’s flushed to its purgatorial cleanse at Waste Water Treatment Number 1, thinking of the rapid-fire repetitiveness, of the diminishing number, of these moments after lights out, when we cozy up to our pillows’ and blankets’ familiar folds in comfort so decadent, so guilt-ridden. I try, I try not to think of my fellow billions denied so much as a safe, decent bed, I try harder not to think of the pomposity of the thought, the cheap, putrid arrogance posing as empathy, since I am just as quickly back to the deceptiveness of the comfort wrapped in a night terror wrapped in pretention. It all feels like borrowed time. It can all end in a flash, we tell ourselves. But we are the flash. This is the flash. It doesn’t have to be projected or imagined as an end at some undefined future. It is an end, when even a year, five years, 20 years, are not even the blink of a flash. The last 60 certainly have been. The strobe light keeps getting more frantic. And now to 61 in this November of my vanity. “Here you have, a little more decently,” went Montaigne in the Donald Frame translation my brother Gabriel gifted me to mark my merest of 23rd year in 1987, himself even in 1588 waxing lyrical about that sewer plant in his mind’s Woodlands, “some excrements of an aged mind, now hard, now loose, and always undigested. And when shall I make an end of describing the continual agitation and changes of my thoughts, whatever subject they light on, since Didymus filled six thousand books with the sole subject of grammar?… But there should be some legal restraint aimed against inept and useless writers, as there is against vagabonds and idlers. Both I and a hundred others would be banished from the hands of our people. This is no jest. Scribbling seems to be a sort of symptom of an unruly age.”
