Poetry

"Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision."
Vision

"Hopefully, if not it's not working right. I'm like a navigator and I try to encourage our collaboration and find the best way that will produce fruit. I like fruit. I like cherries, I like bananas."

The dog glanced up at me tongue rolling, grinning, as though jazzed by the prospect of an unscheduled play session."
