tonight
been mostly faking it
the few times I’ve been real
I think you know
I’m shocked
by my own ignorance
as much as by
the happiness of others
I hear the circulation in my ears
look at the stars and wonder
if I’ll have time to read
all the books I’ve bought
Ha!
I often have the same problem Robert. Will I have enough time to read all the books I have collected and still seem to collect. George Orwell once wrote a short story on his inability to keep up with both his cigarette and book habit. It wasn't the books that led to his early demise.

Imposter syndrome. I can relate. And to the pile of books. Another great poem.
