I have never read The Idiot
by Dostoevsky
I speculate
what it’s about.
I imagine a heavy Russian novel
filled with psychological innuendoes,
a short story focusing on disillusion.
Am I an idiot
for living?
Are you thus labeled for
the act of death?
Is this book
(more mysterious by the moment)
written for “the common man”?
the proletariat
the bourgeoisie?
its view
Nihilistic?
Fatalistic?
Atheistic?
Mystic?
someday I will know.
Now that I am old
And know regret
I pause to think...
I have never read The Idiot
By Dostoevsky.
(I was experimenting with forms, ok? I don't remember what I had been reading, except that it wasn't Dostoevsky)
