Poor Quotes

“This same officer had an horizon in the east
of his smile when he told your class that
you were all supernovas,
the biggest and brightest stars.
...
While fear condenses on your lips,
you will remember that Wednesday, after the assembly,
your teacher speaking more about supernovas:
how they are, in fact, dying stars
on the verge of becoming black holes”
― Caleb Femi, Poor
