                                                                                                   for David Trinidad

"All poets are useful and necessary."

"Why am I talking like this? I think it's a function of age—or the moustache."

"I'm sorry, I'm not giving you a lecture."

"I could do without the little doo-dad at the bottom."

"I don't mean to be hardass."

"I always feel like such a phony when I say penultimate."

"I agree. Even though it's painful when one wants to be perfect..."
