Beginning Again

Beginning Again By Franz Wright

"If I could stop talking, completely
cease talking for a year, I might begin
to get well," he muttered.
Off alone again performing
brain surgery on himself
in a small badly lit
room with no mirror. A room
whose floor ceiling and walls
are all mirror, what a mess
oh my God-

And still
it stands,
the question
not how begin
again, but rather

Why?

So we sit there
together
the mountain
and me, Li Po
said, until only the mountain
remains.

After this I thought of someone who is trying to become a better person.
"If I could stop talking, completely
cease talking for a year, I might begin
to get well," he muttered."
So when I read this I thought of how when I say something stupid and only if I had thought about it maybe I wouldn't have said something mean. I also thought of just thinking helps solve certain things.
"Off alone again performing

So this made me think of how can you fix a problem without seeing it. First to need to realize the problem before you can start fixing it.
"So we sit there
together
the mountain
and me, Li Po
said, until only the mountain remains."
So during our class discussion I was have trouble understanding what this part meant then Dustin said something really interesting. So mountains are formed by two plates colliding and so maybe the author is talking of a man who faces and collides with his problems until only the "mountain" remains. I found this very interesting.
