It's Hard Being A Hostage

I Was Trying To Find Out What It Was That Everybody Else Understood Without Giving Up My Stubborn And Hard-won Lack Of Understanding.

Children Frequently Sing Meaningful Phrases To Themselves Over And Over Again Before They Learn To Make A Distinction Between Singing And Saying.

While I've Had A Great Distaste For What's Usually Called Song In Modern Poetry Or For What's Usually Called Music, I Really Don't Think Of Speech As So Far From Song.

I Was Very Committed To The Process Of Composing, Working At Poems, Putting Things Together And Taking Them Apart Like Some Kind Of Experimental Filmmaker.

From This Entertainment Industry, May The Gods Of Language Protect Us.
