"Once I became a poet I could not be taught to be a poet…
It is like wearing a slit slip under a slit skirt…
Now I am careless of my statements…
And it feels good…like a champagne bidet…
I should not have poetry as a vanity and I should not have it as a career…
But I should have it!...like a doorknob covered with honey…"
Chelsey Minnis, Preface: "Bad, Bad" (thanks to Lute for finding it)

that brings singing.
