How to Write 1000 Pages 




This is easy.
Start by stretching time,
Nothing but a question mark on the first page.
The second page, just a single word.
Let the word be important.
Then nothing.
If someone notices (which they won’t,
since nobody will read it anyway)
say that you are writing an invisible book,
white on white.
Say that you want to show
the emperor is naked.
Learn to transcribe the pauses,
the silence.
Always look busy.
Keep flipping the pages until you reach the last one.
Then write a killer sentence
to conclude your life’s work.
After that, you can rest.
