Preparing an itemized invoice for Canadian Customs for our upcoming book exhibit (10 ballpoint pens @ .20, 40 exam copy instruction sheets @ .01, 2 business card holders @ .75 . . .), I’m in desperate need of something less mind-numbing. Even Mozart’s Piano Concerto #27 in B Flat doesn’t much alleviate the tedium and questions about what I'm doing with my life.
Feeling ever so mousily defiant, I take a few minutes from my task to look up those fine admonitory words from Rainer Maria Rilke’s Archaic Torso of Apollo:
“for here there is no place
that does not see you. You must change your life.”
