• Decade after decade, artists came to paint the light of Provincetown, and comparisons were made to the lagoons of Venice and the marshes of Holland, but then the summer ended and most of the painters left, and the long dingy undergarment of the gray New England winter, gray as the spirit of my mood, came down to visit.

• Ojalá pudiera hablarte del Pacífico Sur. Como era en realidad. El océano infinito. Las infinitas motas de coral que llamábamos islas. Cocoteros que se inclinaban graciosamente hacia el océano. Arrecifes sobre los que las olas rompían en rocío, y lagunas interiores, encantadoras más allá de toda descripción. Ojalá pudiera hablarle de la selva sudorosa, de la luna llena que se alzaba tras los volcanes y de la espera. La espera. La eterna y repetitiva espera.

• Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingos flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents.

• Vivo en New York, y estaba pensando en la laguna de Central Park, cerca de Central Park South. Me preguntaba si estaría helada cuando llegara a casa y, en caso afirmativo, adónde habrían ido los patos. Me preguntaba adónde irían los patos cuando la laguna se congelara. Me preguntaba si vendría alguien en un camión y se los llevaría al zoo o algo así. O si simplemente se fueron volando.

• Bwenawa me llamó la atención sobre dos tablones de madera elevados a un metro y medio del suelo. En los salientes había peces de la laguna abiertos en canal y tendidos al sol, los cadáveres apenas visibles a través de una ventisca envolvente de moscas. "Ya ves", dijo Bwenawa. "El agua se seca al sol, dejando la sal. Es kang-kang [sabroso]. Lo llamamos pescado salado". "Ah", dije. "En mi país lo llamamos pescado podrido.

• I wrote a number of poems about Kah Tai lagoon, when Safeway was building that huge, ugly store down there where I used to love to watch the birds nest. That political poem, or environmental poem, was unsuccessful because Safeway built there anyway. And yet the poem has something to say today, as it did then. And I speak here only of my own poems. The agenda for every poet has to be different because most of us write from direct human experience in the world.

• The first movie I can remember seeing was The Creature From The Black Lagoon. And, I can remember hearing a radio play of Ray Bradbury's Mars Is Heaven. And when I cut my teeth on comic books, they were not the easy ones of today like Spiderman, Superman and The Hulk. they were Tales Of The Crypt, The Vaultkeeper, and that sort of thing.
