“Poor empty pantsWith nobody inside them.”
“My cup is empty, but I still poor”
“The theater was empty: nobody had come. Sometimes these things happen, and nobody can say why.From ""Amandina".”
“I said, "I do not fear those pants with nobody inside them." I said, and said, and said those words. I said them but I lied them. ”
“I tried to whip some feelings up but the inside of my chest was as hollow as an empty rubbish bin; totally, absolutely dried up, with my poor, tiny heart lying at the bottom like a crushed coke can.”
“Nobody gets into heaven without a letter of reference from the poor.”
