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

Now I Must Wait And Be Still And Say Nothing I Don't Know, Nothing I Haven't Lived Over And Over, And That's Everything.

But I'm Too Old To Be Written About As A Young Poet.

I Listen To Jazz About Three Hours A Day. I Love Louis Armstrong.

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

The Irony Is, Going To Work Every Day Became The Subject Of Probably My Best Poetry.
