I'm Not A Pitiable Creature.

When I Came To California, It Was The Mecca Of The World. Every Young Person On The Planet Wanted To Be Here.

Elusive Dreams And Vague Desires Fanned To Fiery Needs By Deadly Deeds Of Falling Empires.

I Learned From Admiration And Osmosis.

I Hang My Laundry On The Line When I Write.

People Will Tell You Were They Have Gone, They'll Tell You Where To Go, But Until You Get There For Yourself You Never Really Know.
