  • "A prisoner on Robin Island (many, many years after his release) said that the worst thing about it had been the lack of children. When he first held a child after his release he was so moved he couldn't speak. This reminds me of that a little, the way children can somehow spark something pure and happy, and their absence makes for a sorry existence. it always kills me a little when people tell me how old their loved ones would be if they were still alive.

  • "i've met people as described in this poem- and they're never really sorry. they just don't know what else they're meant to do, or how to carry out alternatives. the people they hurt become (background noise). well written, 'specially the second and third stanzas."
