[Robert Meyer]

I don't know any good American poets who don't drive.

Too vague, Tim. Does it mean:

I don't have acquaintance of any good American poets who don't drive.

or

I don't have any knowledge of any good American poets who don't drive.

and, if the latter, is that since the invention of the automobile; or of all time (meaning Poe, Whitman, Dickenson, etc. weren't "good")?

Then there's the other meanings of "drive":

"I don't know any good American poets who don't play golf."

or

"I don't know any good American poets who don't drive you nuts with meaningless posts on Eratosphere." (like this)
