I Always Say That A Poet Loves

I Get So Lonely Sometimes, I Could Put A Box On My Head And Mail Myself To A Stranger.

I'm Doomed To Act Like Myself, Even When It's Inconvenient!

As A Memoirist, I Strive For Veracity.

If You Lie To Your Husband - Even About Something So Banal As How Much You Drink - Each Lie Is A Brick In A Wall Going Up Between You, And When He Tells You He Loves You, It's Deflected Away.

In My Godless Household, Poems Were The Closest We Came To Sacred Speech -- The Only Prayers Said.
