Some Are Masters Of Illusions,

I Don't Know If I Call Myself A Poet Or Not. I Would Like To, But I'm Not Really Qualified To Make That Decision, Because I Come In On Such A Back Door, That I Don't Know What A Robert Frost Or A [john] Keats Or A T.s. Eliot Would Really Think Of My Stuff.

I'm Not The Kind Of Cat That's Going To Cut Off An Ear If I Can't Do Something.
