Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.
Fuck your butt of sack.
I can't understand these chaps who go round American universities explaining how
they write poems: It's like going round explaining how you sleep with your wife.
I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think?

Inside your head, and people in them, acting.
People you know, yet can't quite name.
Last on Earth
