QUESTION: How old were you when you started writing poetry? ANSWER: I was eight. Q: Do you remember the first poem you ever wrote? A: No, but I remember the second: "My little dog is black and white. He walks with me both day and night." Q: Cute! How old were you when you wrote that? A: 22; maybe 23. Q: So where do you get your ideas now? A: From my notebook. Plus, I know a place. Q: What's your favorite color? A: Futon. Q: What's your favorite food? A: 0400. Q: Do you have a MySpace page? A: No I don't. Q: But--if you don't have a MySpace page, how can people find you? A: You got me. Q: What's that on your elbow? A: It's nothing. Let's move on. Q: Oh. But--I think your elbow is bleeding. A: That's not a question. Q: Should you really be picking at that? A: I said let's move on. Q: Would you rather have the power of flight or invisibility? A: Good question. I guess both. Q: But if you had to choose one? A: I'd still choose both. Imagine it--you could fly while you were invisible. Q: It's more of a hypothetical thing: flight or invisibility. A: Well, I don't see why you can't just give me both. I'll pay extra, if that's what this is about. Q: One last question: where do you go from here? A: I'm going to take a walk to the water. |
