"不三不四 ('neither three nor four' = 'shady') is great." --@jacquesderridad
"Poetry was always a dialogue with the dead."
"The Cough
I am everyone's & no one's.
I come from the air, my body is air,
yet I shake solid bodies as I go.
My warning bark
is unheard right in someone's face.
They think when I am theirs
I am part of something else & will soon be leaving.
True, I travel between--
though I stay behind--
I could only be known
if for once I'd not been known.
(from King Brainworm, 1993)
