The exercise of writing to the Taxman about writing – brings to mind (although I have not used it in the letter) the imaginary exchange:

‘Why do you want to write?’

‘I do not want to write. It wants me to write.’

‘It wants me’ does not necessarily refer to any specific It: it feels more like a literal translation of a foreign phrase* denoting an impersonal pressure felt by, rather than exerted by, the writer – vacant force,** in fact.

*?French: ‘On me veut….’(?) <971011>
