Ten second essays

The poet James Richardson introduced, what he called Ten second essays in 2001. Now he is back with new ones. This is a nice cut:
"The reader lives faster than life, the writer lives slower."
It's from his "By the Numbers". I found it in Books of the Times. Thanks.
The concept is born for Twitter...so I'll copy this post right away. Maybe I should make it a #. And maybe I should hesitate a second. It's much harder than it looks to write a Ten second essay that makes the reader live faster than life.
