When I Forget How Talented God Is,

Normal Is Just A Cycle On The Washing Machine.

When I Was A Kid They Didn't Call It Dyslexia. They Called It You Know, You Were Slow, Or You Were Retarded, Or Whatever. What You Can Never Change Is The Effect That The Words 'dumb' And 'stupid' Have On Young People. I Knew I Wasn't Stupid, And I Knew I Wasn't Dumb. My Mother Told Me That. If You Read To Me, I Could Tell You Everything That You Read. They Didn't Know What It Was. They Knew I Wasn't Lazy, But What Was It?

I Used My Imagination To Make The Grass Whatever Color I Wanted It To Be.

I Believe That Parts Of People Like John Garfield And Moms Mabley, The Parts Of Them That I Needed To Be Able To Do What I'm Doing, Came Into Me. There's A Very Nice Feeling That There Are Many, Many Spirits Inside Of Me Looking After Me . . .

When I Forget How Talented God Is, I Look To The Sea.
