    L.P. Cowling
    “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
