My Last Defense / Is The Present

I Like The Concentration, The Crush; I Like Working With Language, As Others Like Working With Clay, Or Notes.

I Shall Create! If Not A Note, A Hole./if Not An Overture, A Desecration.

As You Get Older, You Find That Often The Wheat, Disentangling Itself From The Chaff, Comes Out To Meet You.

Be Yourself. Don't Imitate Other Poets. You Are As Important As They Are.

Even If You Are Not Ready For Day It Cannot Always Be Night.
