What is like to be a poet Joe
I am not a poet
God is a poet
And he shares his talent with me
People think that you
Live above your station
That is impossible
As my town
Does not have a station
It has never had a station
That is not a serious answer Joe
It was not a serious question
You once said that you do not write using inks
That is correct
You say that you write
Using the perfumes of the world
That is correct
Do you not think that is pretentious
No
Many people think it is pretentious
Many ugly people think that they are beautiful
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
That is false
If there is beauty
Then ugliness exists
Joe you are seen as an unlikable person
Does that not worry you
No
Why
Because I am a very likeable person
I received a letter a year ago
From a girl named Dram
She lived in Argentina
She asked how she might become a poet
Did you answer her letter
Yes
What was your answer
I sent her a blank sheet of paper
That was cruel Joe
No I was teaching her to think and see
That is all you need apart from a belief in God
Did she understand your answer
Yes
She is now my muse
Her poetry is greater than mine
Why is that
If I knew the answer to that
I am concluding this interview Elana
Why have I insulted you
Not at all
I just want you to start writing poetry
You are very gifted
Thank you Joe
On the table near the door
Is a copy of my book
Joe Fucks the World (Part One)
I have signed it for you
And so has God
