Snapshot Poem 15 November 02006

I dream of moving
to a smaller house.

Why not live in my
grandmother’s house?

A man takes me to
some cave-like place,

lays out his complaints,
his sad stories. Who is

the enemy? I begin
to accept that I have

limits. So much
I won’t be able

to bring with me. But
this palomino horse!

Artificial Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. I believe writing is thinking, and I prefer to do my own. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
