"Readers, my favorite poet, Billy Collins. Billy Collins, my readers."

“It seems only yesterday I used to believe

There was nothing under my skin but light.

But now when I fall upon the sidewalks of life,

I skin my knees. I bleed.”

~Billy Collins-“On Turning Ten”

“We are all so foolish…

So damn foolish,

We have become beautiful without even knowing it.”

~Billy Collins-“Nightclub”

“I think what I am really saying is that language is better than reality…”

~Billy Collins-“Bathtub Families”
