I write poetry, because... (Allen Ginsberg)

Well, the following really puts it into a nutshell.
I guess I can underwrite this:

"I write poetry because I want to be alone and want to talk to people."
- Allen Ginsberg (from "Improvisation in Beijing", the preface to Cosmopolitan Greetings. Poems 1986-1992, Penguin, 1994, page xiv)
