July 4th fireworks exhale over the Hudson sadly.It is beautiful that they have to disappear.It's like the time you said I love you madly.That was an hour ago. It's been a fervent year.

Write beautifully what people don’t want to hear.

You need a danger to be safe in.

I like to hear the sound of form, and I like to hear the sound of it breaking.

I was left with myself and had to do the one thing I could to survive. I knew it would be difficult to write, very difficult, but I set about doing it.

Sometimes you finish the poem, and that last piece clicks in place. Sometimes the poem is finished with you.

I like poems that are daggers that sing.

People often associate complexity with deeper meaning, when often after precious time has been lost, it is realized that simplicity is the key to everything.

For the powerful, crimes are those that others commit.

When you think about the wasted time, you waste your time again.

In sports teams, apart from talk of sporting prowess and the imparting of inspirational thought, an extraordinary amount of time is spent discussing, and flaunting, material possessions.

I never kept a diary, but I wrote detailed notes of my travels.

You don't come in here on Sunday with a big banana and expect everything to be peaches.

So keep your chin up, boy, forget the pain. I know you'll make it, if you try again. There's no use in quitting, when the world is waiting for you.
