You don't help people in your poems. I've been trying to help people all my life - that's my trouble

Whatever you have to say, leave The roots on, let them Dangle And the dirt Just to make clear Where they come from.

You can do anything, really. And that, l think, is one of the exciting possibilities of the present, l swear, is the possibility that the goddamn thing can be modaled throughout.

Were all moving, moving, moving. Isnt it nice?

All that matters is that the thing be the thing of the thing.

I'm trying to climb up both walls at once.

I don't live for poetry. I live far more than anybody else does.
