But I'm Too Old To Be Written

You Have Begun To Separate The Dark From The Dark.

It's Ironic That While I Was A Worker In Detroit, Which I Left When I Was Twenty Six, My Sense Was That The Thing That's Going To Stop Me From Being A Poet Is The Fact That I'm Doing This Crummy Work.

I'm Afraid We Live At The Mercy Of A Power, Maybe A God, Without Mercy. And Yet We Find It, As I Have, From Others.

But Most Commonly, It's One Poem That I Work On With A Lot Of Intensity.

I Was Very Lucky To Have A Mother Who Encouraged Me To Become A Poet.
