What poetry can, must, and will always do for us: it complicates us, it doesn’t ‘soothe.’.

Whatever I do is out of love..

When I say nothing, I say everything.

She'd hit me before but never over and over and over and over into the head..

Saying you liked all music meant that you didn't love any..

Liberals always exempt themselves from the rules that they impose on others..

Don't confuse close with happy.

When it’s time, it’s time … and it’s time..

Some things that are true are not very useful..

Sermonettes make Christianettes..

It's time for me to go. But I would rather stay..

Whenever I get into something, I shut out everything else..

The flute is a weird instrument, especially when played solo..

We are what we are, wherever we are..

You're a writer. Make it up..

Most pornographic images are simply too repulsive..

I often look for beauty in form and structure, and for ideas..

The headiest loves were the loves that couldn't be..

As I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it..

I don't like dudes. Not even for 1 second..

Africa is the future..
