Quotes by Raymond Antrobus (?)

“Can we disagree graciously
I am tired of people

not knowing the volume
of their power.”

“And no one knew what I was missing
until a doctor gave me a handful of Lego
and said to put a brick on the table
every time I heard a sound.
After the test I still held enough bricks
in my hand to build a house
and call it my sanctuary,
call it the reason I sat in saintly silence
during my grandfather's sermons when he preached
The Good News I only heard
as Babylon's babbling echoes.”
― Raymond Antrobus, The Perseverance
