From the Mouths of Babes in Prison
When I was born my mother put a pearl inside my mouth.
-
I'm going to be a hero when I get out of here.
-
My hand weighs a thousand pounds.
-
Mine is a thousand years old.
-
When I get out of here, I'll still just be Thomas.
-
(after hearing Kipling's "If"):
While you were reading that my heart was pounding.
-
I used to hate it when people told me what to do. Now I can't wait to say okay.
-
I wanna be a philosophy.
-
I am always trying to think of things to say. I guess that makes me a poet.
-
I tripped on my hoodie and now I'm a punk.
-
My favorite word is taciturn.
-
Mine is freedom.
-
I have more buttons to push than a flippin' elevator.
-
My favorite thing in the whole world is socks.
-
I doubt my mother is feeding my dog.
-
I like most of the stuff in poetry, but I especially like it when you talk about the magical parts.
-
Wendy, do you think change is something that is really possible.
-
Wendy, do you believe in immortality.
