I Am Not The One Who Loves

I Don't Remember Lighting This Cigarette And I Don't Remember If I'm Here Alone Or Waiting For Someone.

I Was 15 When I First Became Deeply Touched By The Rhythm And Structure Of Words.

I Noticed That When I Was On Prozac My Relationship With The Landscape Improved. I Actually Stopped Thinking About Myself For A Minute Or Two, Because Most Of The Thoughts One Has About Oneself Are Involved With Desire Or Loneliness Or Isolation Or Strategies To Overcome Them.

I Alwaysthought Of Myself As A Competent, Minor Poet. I Know Who I'm Up Against.

The Cutting Of The Gem Has To Be Finished Before You Can See Whether It Shines.
