Because I'm an American, I know there's all sorts of international folks who would gladly kidnap and behead me.

Don't live up to your stereotypes.

You know, people speak in poetry all the time. They just don't realize it.

Is God a man or a woman? God could be an armadillo. I have no idea.

I grabbed my book and opened it up. I wanted to smell it. Heck, I wanted to kiss it. Yes, kiss it. That's right, I am a book kisser. Maybe that's kind of perverted or maybe it's just romantic and highly intelligent.

I refuse to censor myself and kids will find their own way to my books and to all of the books that matter to them. As I write more honestly more kids will make their way toward me. And in subverting their repressive parents kids will learn the value of subverting the repressive nature of all authority figures.

If I wasn't writing poems I'd be washing my hands all the time.
