Ani DiFranco

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

Any tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

Love is a piano dropped from a fourth story window, and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Knowing some Greek helped defuse forbidding words - not that I counted much on using them. You'll find only trace elements of this language in the poem.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.
