everything. It even informs my poetry. It’s

of image I can make, it's about talking as clearly
as I can.
+ I’ve never been a reporter. And if I have
a romance with the objects that I’m drawing,

with the mark that I am making.

in in terms of how much emotion it's charged with
and how much subject matter is there.
