You've said that you will commit to this part, and I just can't live with myself for not really giving it as much as I can. My art and poetry is very political now. Because you've got to find that truth within you and express yourself. Somewhere out there, I know, there will be people who will listen. Everybody past a certain age, regardless of how they look on the outside, pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives. What do you say when someone has truly inspired you? How do you express to an artist how deeply their work has affected you? Truth is always a delusion. Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.

I mean, he'd talk to you. But he can't talk. I've been in a serious conversation with one of my children, and a fan has come up. I've been in a public bathroom and had the hand come under the stall with a paper and pen. That sort of thing anybody can live without. No man is clever enough to know all the evil he does.
