Try to finish War and Peace
during military service, prison, asylum or exile.
Go to a rich kid's or art collector's party.
For a lack of better things to say to the anyone there,
be stupid enough to speak to a Pan-Asian part-time model,
while her club DJ boyfriend is spinning: raising one hand and moving his hips.
ask if she has heard of War and Peace.
If she were to ask, what's that?
Tell her it is a video game you like to play.
Forgive her for not knowing who is Leo or Tolstoy
at least she now has a boy who was previously an older woman's toy.
