A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing. Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads. Meaning is not thought up and then written down. The act of writing is an act of thought.
All writing is experimental in the beginning.
It is an attempt to solve a problem, to find a meaning, to discover its own way towards a meaning. Misquotations are the only quotations that are never misquoted. I write down everything I want to remember. I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on. When you come right down to it all you have is yourself.
