Lost in Knowhere

About the Book

I am going to be completely honest about how I came up with this piece of work. I managed a warehouse that sold bags of rags. Two months in, my ‘boss’ tells me that I should be cutting open one bag a shipment to see if the rags were cut right. Even though I knew she was just trying to create more work for me I cut open a bag anyway. The first and only bag I ever had to ‘check’ had inside of it a small pack of 5”x3 1/2” pink paper tied with a pink bow. It seemed surreal to me so I threw it into my desk drawer. The next day at work I thought of something intriguing and decided to write it down. Opening my desk, I realized what the pink paper was for. Eventually I ran out of the little pieces of pink paper but I continued to think of things worth writing about, so I continued to write them down. I had so much written down on paper it became hard to take care of, so I typed them up. Then there were times when I felt lost and confused so I would read them and feel better, editing them as I went. Feeling confident with what I had written, I was compelled to share it with anyone who was willing to see the world from a strange perspective. I hope you enjoy!

About the Author

Matthew is twenty-three and lives in Ontario, Canada. Being the youngest of three brothers he tended to think a lot before he acted. Later on in life his thinking became almost a habit and he did it about everything and everyone. Eventually it started to become a nuisance and so he avoided simple things, like friends and love. Then he found out what it was he was missing. It was the ability to transfer his over piling thoughts onto paper and then into other minds. With this piece of work he does not simply tell you what he thinks, he leads you there. With his rhythmic verses he speaks from the heart and takes you on a journey to the depths of the mind and describes what likes to linger there. He opens up and lets out thoughts and ideas he thinks others possess, or would like to, in order to create comfort and reassurance for those as confused as he.
