When I first came to this site I said I believed that the world is nothing but poetry, the rest is raw animal pain. The fact that I've never succeeded at anything in the literary world only means that I'm a failure in the literary world, not that the world isn't nothing but poetry. When I spend most of the day or night writing something that no one may even read I feel like I'm digging toward a spiritual world that may not be there. An irony that never pays off. But the struggle always pays off, because the struggle is the only thing that's real. Most more practical things than writing poems and stories and all the experiences that go into working on these things aren't worth the time and effort.
