No Mean Thing
today is experiencing the life of others
in their easy accomplishments, a simple
thing that seems so small but is grander
than we think—Matt Damon on the Graham
Norton Show talking about the fight scene
in his new Jason Bourne movie; Ayad
Akhtar explaining the creative process for
his new novel Homeland Elegies; Matthew
McConaughey’s uncompromising memoir
greenlighting his way to Hollywood stardom
with Texan chutzpa and willful intention;
and my retired foraging neighbor repairing
discarded snow blowers, lawn mowers,
vacuum cleaners, and other throwaways
to pass the time of day—because it takes a
lifetime to get to where we are, and easy
accomplishments are no mean thing.
