I went to NYU undergraduate, then for a Master's in English, and got a SUMMER job at St. Vincent's. I was a ward clerk handling EVERYTHING in an INTENSIVE CARE unit.

I WANT to FIGHT Andre Ward, Arthur ABRAHAM, Gilberto Ramirez, I want to BOX the BEST.

I WOULD say being in that institution - that psyche ward, or whatever it was. That was REALLY creepy because it was a REAL place from like the early 1900s.

Riesling? It SMELLS LIKE an INTENSIVE CARE ward.

I've collected JOHN Ward pieces for years. Ward represents IDEAS of NATURE and of sediments.

My father had this mythological sense of the old New YORK, and he used to tell me stories about these old gangs, PARTICULARLY the FORTY THIEVES in the Fourth Ward.

At LEAST BANK of America got its name right. The ultimate Too BIG to Fail bank really is America, a hypergluttonous ward of the STATE WHOSE limitless fraud and criminal conspiracies we'll all be paying for until the end of time.
