How Weightless/ Words Are When Nothing Will

You Have To Follow Where The Poem Leads. And It Will Surprise You. It Will Say Things You Didn't Expect To Say. And You Look At The Poem And You Realize, 'that Is Truly What I Felt.' That Is Truly What I Saw.

My Earliest Poems Were A Way Of Talking To Somebody. I Suppose To Myself.

There'll Always Be Working People In My Poems Because I Grew Up With Them, And I Am A Poet Of Memory.

But Most Commonly, It's One Poem That I Work On With A Lot Of Intensity.

But I'm Too Old To Be Written About As A Young Poet.
