I think it's a very confusing thing for every single person involved.

APD is primarily defined as a lack of empathy,' I said. I'd looked it up too, a few months ago.

I naturally felt no resentment beyond wanting to break the kid's thumbs.
Kenneth Rexroth took me under his wing for a brief period. I was fifteen years old, and I was smoking a lot of heroin and trying to be cool, man, and I really loved poetry.

I can smell the air, and I can touch the ground, and I can see the green of the trees. That's why I want to write a book.
Fifteen-year-old girls produce children with sixteen-year-old boys in the backseat of cars and in the stairwells of apartment buildings.
