and I fell totaly ockward, always have
but, somewhere along the line, well being a poet
is not an easy ride, and well, obviously
you got plans, for your life, I can’t adress that
but as far as the ‘Calling’ thang, its there its
your call really, for me it was the only thing I could do, it took me many years to really feel like
I had any kind of handle on my writing style…
but I always felt it in my bones ya know?
the injustice in the world!…had to match it somehow
cuz when you are young you want to change the world!
the late sixties were very tumultous…all I had was
people like Ginsberg!..Burroughs, Leary, Allen Watts
these where who were my guides…around 21 I read Rimbaud, and he really changed me inside…its a long story…when I was a teenager I hung out in Hollywood
I was raised in Orange County…that was weird!
so we can talk as you like, or when you like, or
just keep em coming, or meditate, or read a good novel
or be mysterious, and thanks again!
