Behalten / Keep Gedichte / Poems Kommen Sie / Come Schnell / Swiftly Sie / You
People have to be armed to have power, you see.
We simply have not kept in touch with poetry.
If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it.
The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
So many poems you go into and come up empty.
But, you know, you can't be a star at home.
You keep shooting. You hope it goes in, and you smile.
You couldn't have fed the '50s into a computer and come out with the '60s.
Keep your elbows soft. Keep your elbows looking fine.
