Mostly

Stranger than fiction.

Republicans working with Obama could prove very interesting.

Why not?

I think I will try writing a science fiction story about the locals of San Francisco.

Every human is truly creative and that is a fact.

Last I checked I was human, and the music played on

The tube full of longing

For the halls of science

Through the spot to erase

There to crush and break

It all takes time

To relax

And to fly into paridise

Rolling dice

Spinning opportunities

Drunk on something

Light Mystery

IS LIGHT THE MOST REAL THING WE SEE AND NOT WHAT LIGHT SHOWS US?

And with the help of the poet it reaches a form of intellectual intensity. The poet attacks the irrational then in his own writing, yet still loves poetry more than prose. In other words he dislikes poetry and prose equally.

I can't find Shakespeare around to get his opinion. We all know he did not change his ways too much in his plays. That might have felt a bit dull, and the early masters he loved were poets, especially Ovid. To verse or not to verse?

Being a journalist helps me be a better poet.

Most poets tend to go very inwards for inspiration. That was true for Blake, Rosseti, Dickinson as early examples. Blake wrote a piece on experience ironically. Many other poets do seem removed from the "Real" world around them. Virgil was in Roman culture, but was likely way more involved in his writing to give much attention to the life around him. No doubt Walt Whitman was also such a writer. This is perhaps the kind of thing that attracted the Academy in the first place.
