Everybody has their own idea of what's a poet. Robert Frost, President Johnson, T.S.Eliot, Rudolf Valentino - they're all poets. I like to think of myself as the one who carries the light bulb.

Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit.

If my thought-dreams could be seen/ They'd probably put my head in a guillotine.
