In which the poet is interviewed by the poems. “Tell us about yourself.”
| Tell me about your eyes. | I am a periscope squinting above the surface of coffee. |
| Why is your soul caramelized with soot? | My vacation in Eden was a hot time, but I wandered too long in the garden without sunscreen. |
| Why did you abandon the piano? | My father re-pointed the bricks of our house with Mozart. It was beautiful, but his fingers tipped the scales. |
| I heard you can breathe underwater. | Do you want to see my fin collection? Some people have shoes, I have a closet of dorsal Nike’s. |
| Did you once throw your fate on a wheel? | No, that is a lie spun from mud and clay. |
| What is it with your hair and the birds? | When taking trash to the dump on Wednesday, first one, then another (!) seagull pooped on my head. True facts! |
| How did you survive in the desert? | I decapitated myself by rolling up the car window. I was tired of the complaining and that thirsty mouth. |
| You cried watching “Valley of the Dolls?” | As a boy I was in love with Patty Duke |
| What do you do when your back is to the wall? | Write a sex poem. |
| You write of the co-evolution of wolf and shark. | When I stumbled on the carcasses of two frozen deer on the beach, words flooded my lungs with hunger |

A poetic interview. I found myself smiling at the snarky remarks. Creative and wonderful presentation. I found myself searching for answers. My eyes are hazel, they change with my mood from green to brown and sometimes they just want to coordinate with my clothes..lol..
