I really, really fear head injuries. But when people hit their heads in movies or fall down - I can't stop laughing.

I don't write very much about penises. More than some poets but not perhaps as much as I should.

I'm even afraid of kittens. They bite too! But I respect animals.

I think it's a huge shortcoming of mine - this disconnect between the world of human and animals. We are animals.

I agree that comedy does a good job - and is often about - stepping over the line - Lenny Bruce, etc. - and that this is important for a lot of poets too. I guess I feel like there has to be depth.

I'm fascinated by but afraid of animals.

I have a longing for wilderness and for greenness. I wish I were a person who longed for animals, but I'm not.
