“For poems are like rainbows; they escape you quickly.”

“You hated my rainbows, now you don't like my leather. Is there anything you like on me?”

“Reciting a poem aloud, you are not like an actor, rather you come to understand, then to be, the voice of the poem itself.”

“Everyone likes happiness, no one likes pain. But you can't have a rainbow without a little rain.”

“Einstein was wrong! I"M the speed of like CRACKING through shivery rainbows and GOD the sky whirls and withers like a melting RAINBOW!”

“Your mom is a rainbow goddess?"
"You got a problem with that?"
"No, no. Rainbows. Very macho.”

“You’re like part human, part rainbow.”

“or that writing a poem you can read to no one
is like dancing in the dark.”

“Both the aphorism and the poem channel man’s wild impulse to escape the systems another part of him has so carefully constructed.”

“Poems are like dreams: in them you put what you don't know you know.”
