I am in the furthest time zone
on the loneliest coast of a distended peninsula,
a remote island,
uncharted sea
lost on a planet
spinning
on the thin thread
of my damned lineage.
"This journal is not a mere literary diversion. The further I progress, reducing to order what my past life suggests, and the more I persist in the rigor of composition--of the chapters, of the sentences, of the book itself--the more do I feel myself hardening in my will to utilize, for virtuous ends, my former hardships. I feel their power." --Jean Genet
