Of course, what I said this poem is about has nothing to do with what it means. If I could say what it means I wouldn't need to write a poem. Like D. H. Lawrence says, Trust the poem not the poet. D. H. Lawrence, Lizzie, if you're out there. I think we both like D. H. Lawrence. . . . And, billy, it reminds me, since you are lately the only one who responds to me, like when I'm at some guy's house, and he's the only one who acknowledges me, while his wife and kids try their best to pretend like I'm not there. I'm Not There: ''shit, that sounds like an album cover, Micheal, write it down, fuck, I might forget it.'' -- I have this running joke through my writing, where I spell Michael, the archangel of fire and the south, wrong.
