But I'm more interested in trying to write poetry that absorbs tradition and uses it in new ways, and doesn't throw it out.

"We can rock it nice and slow or really, really fast."... "Do I have your permission to rock away and give you the ride of your life?" Why does it feel like he's secretly talking dirty to me?
