In 1980 I wrote 11 poems.

The last entry in the 1980 volume, which came after the prolific seventies, is below. Apt that in 1980 I wrote my least amount of poems in one year.

Now I am at the present, 27 years old in May. I'm going bald. My poetic sense is gone almost altogether. Inspiration? Where art thou?? I've got to keep the smile on. I'll survive. I always do. I'm happy with my life- and I'm never going to cry. Love? Where are the love poems? I'm young yet--- they'll come. I thought for sure my end was coming last year. The urge was very strong for me to plunge that knife all the way in. And Christ, maybe someday I will. But not yet. There's more poems in me.......Somewhere
