Billy Collins
“Now I sit down at the desk, ready to begin.
I am entirely pure: nothing but a skeleton at a typewriter.

I should mention that sometimes I leave my penis on.
I find it difficult to ignore the temptation.
Then I am a skeleton with a penis at a typewriter.”
Billy Collins, Sailing Alone Around the Room: New and Selected Poems

“But the birch tree reminded me of how large the world was and how unimportant was my place in it. It became a reminder: to let things be what they were, to live unsentimentally. To pare away the unnecessary neuroses, the compulsion to be at the center of every thought; to look at the world without the intervening lens of self.”
Cathi Hanauer, The Bitch Is Back: Older, Wiser, and (Getting) Happier – A Powerful and Provocative Feminist Anthology on Women's Lives, Midlife, and Aging
