I'm trying to write poems that involve beginning at a known place, and ending up at a slightly different place. I'm trying to take a little journey from one place to another, and it's usually from a realistic place, to a place in the imagination.

Poetry is my cheap means of transportation. By the end of the poem the reader should be in a different place from where he started. I would like him to be slightly disoriented at the end, like I drove him outside of town at night and dropped him off in a cornfield.

لو استطعت أن اصحو في مكان نختلف وفي وقت مختلف ، فهل بوسعي أن أصحو كشخص مختلف ؟

Facebook is in a very different place than Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft. We are trying to build a community.

I grew up in Los Angeles and always wished I'd spent a childhood in a far different place.

When I write, I'm not trying to be funny. It's the way I look at the world.
