Manhood Quotes Quotes

“don’t suck your thumb, i’m near.
lean forward, suck in the gut.
scraped knees don’t hurt,
i can see through any walls.
no, this is the purveyance always.
transcends sight and follows you.
you’re a man, or not, now.
but i can still see through walls.
so, don’t suck your thumb, boy.
~”
― L.P. Cowling, PFI: Poetry Collection

“In order for a boy to have become a good man, that boy would have had to have held the hand of a good man.”
― Mekael Shane
