Because a poem is not written while running or while answering the phone. It's written in whatever minutes one has. Sometimes you have half an hour.

I think this is true for all artists. My senses are very important to me.

... sometimes I can feel it, the way we are pouring slowly toward a curve and around it through something dark and soft, and we are bound to each other.

Well, one thing I'm really interested in, when I'm writing, is being accurate.

I did not deceive him, he did not deceive me, I did not leave him, he did not leave me, I freed him, he freed me.

There is something in me maybe someday to be written; now it is folded, and folded, and folded, like a note in school.

Poets are like steam valves, where the ordinary feelings of ordinary people can escape and be shown.
