Most poets, like most people, try hard to be like someone they admire or they are possessed with an image of what they ought to be.
Poetry for me is as much a spiritual practice as sexual ecstasy is.
It was as important to live poetically as to write poems.
Dance, vaudeville, drama, movies - as a child I loved everything that went on in a theater.
I'm happy to report that my inner child is still ageless.
Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past, present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now.
