Poetry is a series of explanations of life, fading off into horizons too swift for explanations.

I've written some poetry I don't understand myself.

Tell him solitude is creative if he is strong and the final decisions are made in silent rooms. Tell him to be different from other people if it comes natural and easy being different. Let him have lazy days seeking his deeper motives. Let him seek deep for where he is a born natural. Then he may understand Shakespeare and the Wright brothers, Pasteur, Pavlov, Michael Faraday and free imaginations Bringing changes into a world resenting change. He will be lonely enough to have time for the work he knows as his own.

I remember in my early 20s when I felt I couldn't live past 30. I was learning how to write. I had a lot of hard work ahead of me.

Poetry is a fossil rock-print of a fin and a wing, with an illegible oath between.

God, let me remember all good losers.

There is only one child in the world and the Child’s name is All Children.
