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 interested in the self. And in the limits and transformations of self. And in self presentation. And in doubt. And in playing with the audience's expectations. But I don't like dressing up like on Halloween.

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

I do not like it when other people dress up. I like everyone to be THEMSELVES.

Usually I avoid sugar, but sugar is like the most deeply satisfying addictive thing ever.

I am interested in the movement of my own thoughts and in trying make the poems feel more accurate to experience, including the experience of thinking.

Humor is essential to survival. Funny poems are vastly underrated. Very underwritten.
