“They’re like a landlord who kicks out a deadbeat renter so he can get the house cleaned up for the new tenant; I think this has always been about getting the place ready.”

“When you choose to be a poet,
you become a place that people walk through
and then leave when they are ready”

“But if you must be clever, then be clever. Be brave. Sleep with fists closed and shoot straight.”
