Th" New post on Literary Hub "To the Reader" by Vijay Seshadri I'm writing this so I can tell you that what you're thinking about me is exactly what I'm thinking about you. What you're reading is exactly what you're writing, by the light of a taper, deep inside yourself, at your walnut secretary. These words are saying what those words say, and these and those are those and these, mine and yours, and have no meaning, only form. Talk about being one with others! We correspond 1 to 1, and there is a grandeur in this. You'll understand that someday. Just now, though, you're stupefied at this spooky action at a distance. So would I be, and I am. __________________________________ "To the Reader" from That Was Now, This Is Then. Copyright © 2020 by Vijay Seshadri.
