Buttons

Famous quotes containing the word buttons:

“With crayons the child draws a rigid house
and a winding pathway. Then the child
puts in a man with buttons like tears”

Among the buttons poured out in her lap.”

“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.

a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
