But I'm Too Old To Be Written

I Listen To Jazz About Three Hours A Day. I Love Louis Armstrong.

Back Then, I Couldn't Have Left A Poem A Year And Gone Back To It.

I'm Seventy-one Now, So It's Hard To Imagine A Dramatic Change.

I Realized Poetry's The Thing That I Can Do 'cause I Can Stick At It And Work With Tremendous Intensity.

I Was Very Lucky To Have A Mother Who Encouraged Me To Become A Poet.
