"I'm a being, but I'm not an entity."

"America I'm putting my queer shoulder to the wheel."

"who balled in the morning in the evenings in rosegardens and the grass of public parks and cemeteries scattering their semen freely to whomever come who may,"

"who lit up their cigarettes in boxcars boxcars boxcars trembling over the snow to an unseen Saskatchewan,"

"I'm a reality, but I'm not an illusion."
