People do come up to me quite a lot. I get called all of it. I rarely get called my name it's usually Hey, Dr. Edwards! or Algernon. The most common thing is, You're the black doctor on that show! I'll take any of it, because I've definitely been called much worse things.

Poetry, which is our relation to the senses, enables us to retain a living relationship to all things.
