I'm Seventy-one Now, So It's

I Started Listening To Music When I Wrote When I Had Three Sons At Home.

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

Listen To These Young Poets And You'll Discover The Voice Of The Present And Hear The Voice Of The Future Before The Future Is Even Here.

I Say, Father, The Years Have Brought Me Here, Still Your Son, They Have Brought Me To A Life I Cannot Understand.

For Sure I Once Thought Of Myself As The Poet Who Would Save The Ordinary From Oblivion.
