I decided I would go to Chicago and try my luck as a writer after those eight months as a fireman.

I make it clear why I write as I do and why other poets write as they do. After hundreds of experiments I decided to go my own way in style and see what would happen.

Soundtrack City Chicago.

To work hard, to live hard, to die hard, and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard.

I am stone and steel of your sleeping numbers;
I remember all you forget.
I will die as many times
as you make me over again.

I'm either going to be a writer or a bum.
