Brought this due to the cool cover and name but it has become my favourite collection of poems!
I am the arsonist of my own cardboard castle, who’s taken a match and gas can to every last plan I’ve ever been handed. Every extention I’ve ever been granted. No Explanation. Lacks discipline. Has trouble focusing on task at hand. Can’t ask for help when does not understand. Ties his shoes funny. Seems to know his colours well enough. Probably fucked, but good luck.
