Some Poems

It would be absurd if we did not understand both angels and devils, since we invented them.
I hate cameras. They are so much more sure than I am about everything.
The profession of book writing makes horse racing seem like a solid, stable business.
Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother's cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.
The new American finds his challenge and his love in the traffic-choked streets, skies nested in smog, choking with the acids of industry, the screech of rubber and houses leashed in against one another while the town lets wither a time and die.
If you're in trouble, or hurt or need -- go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help -- the only ones.
In every bit of honest writing in the world, there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love.
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.
I know this--a man got to do what he got to do.
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts, perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
