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 don't remember ever dressing up for Halloween but I must have. I do not like dressing up at all.

Very little of my time is spent thinking about poetry, except the time I spend in class.

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

I have a complicated relationship with non-human animals. I've never really been close to one.

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