The Sound and the Fury: Quentin

Here is a found poem I wrote in English class today from Quentin's section of The Sound and the Fury.



I could hear the watch again.
Dalton Ames,
Dalton Ames,
Dalton Ames.
In the south you are ashamed of being a virgin,
Why couldn't it have been me and not her who is unvirgin?
I have committed incest I said Father it was I it was not Dalton Ames
DALTON AMES,
DALTON AMES,
DALTON AMES.
He put the piston in my hand I didn't.
That's why I didn't.
He would be there and she would and I would.
DALTON AMES,
DALTON AMES,
DALTON AMES.
I will look down and see my murmuring bones and the deep water like wind
After a long time they cannot distinguish even bones upon the lonely and inviolate sand.
DALTON AMES. DALTON AMES. DALTON AMES.
Father said clocks slay time.
He said time is dead as long as it it being clicked off by little wheels;
Only when the clocks stop does it come to life.
