It’s here. I’m here. I’m here and I think it’s about to start. I’m about to start it.
I’m starting here, now, nowhere.
Or am I?
Did I ruin the start by saying I was about to start it?
Was that how it started and now my chance to really start it is gone forever?
Did I miss the start of it? My own start?
I wish I could start again, here, nowhere. This particular nowhere.
