 I
wish! As is the case with most of us who are not Sufi mystics, my poems
come from the interstices of a life filled with commerce, everyday obligations,
family duties, casual pleasures, and the sheer banal basics of breathing,
eating, sleeping. It is impossible, I think, to be a poet in the way one
would be a banker or a pilot. Poetry is not a profession, but an expression.
The occasions of life evoke the response of poetry by their richness or
darkness, their stillness or joy.
