Poems have their own fates, like children. You have only to give birth to them.

The times spat at me. I spit back at the times.

Not all lines, not all images, survive their season.

Poems have their own fates, like children. You have only to give birth to them.

Poetry is the only hopeEven if you do not believe it, you have to do it.

If you want to change the world's spirit, I will suggest that only poetry can do this.
