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.

The older I get, the more I feel.

I'm probably so out of it at my age that I don't know what people think.

... 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.

When I quit all these things and said I didn't have any time, I meant I didn't have any time.

It might be a bad thing, not to know what's going on in the world. I can't say I really approve of it.

I was a late bloomer. But anyone who blooms at all, ever, is very lucky.
