new-york teach
Things always change, and New York teaches you that.
fall rain feet
I shake my head and the tiny acrobats fall like spangles, like the cool rain on another planet, down to the inside of my feet.
song reading two
If you take text and image and you put them together, the multiple readings that are possible in either poetry or in something visual are reduced to one specific reading. By putting the two together, you limit the possibilities. Text and image don't always work together in the way music and song lyrics become part of each other.
glad great move
It's great for me to move on from that, ... And I'm glad I survived, to be able to.

I've come to think of myself as a writer of books.
hurt memories self
The problem with an autobiography is that all these extra factors make it difficult. You don't want to hurt people's feelings. You don't know how much you can trust your memory. You don't want it to be self-serving. And you have all these issues about how to present yourself. All these factors make it harder to do than a novel.

real focus relief
You realize there are certain things that you'll never do that you always thought would be part of your future. It's a big relief to discover what you are best suited for, and it's a real advantage to be able then to focus.
new-york way lasts
Nothing lasts in New York. Everything's always changing in really obvious ways.
