“...I begin with songs. They provide a sort of skeleton grammar for me to flesh out. Songs of longing for future tense, songs of regret for past tense, and songs of love for present tense.”
“I ride the singular point of the present until the future is past tense.”
“The past is always tense, the future perfect.”
“I loved her present tense.”
“I love you present tense.”
“In the distance I hear a song - a simple song - a song of despair - a song of longing and a song of sorrow.I have forgotten the words and the rhythm, but I sing.Yes, I sing.”
