Analysis of Summer of 74”

Dr. T. Pinnock 1962 (Hartford, Ct)

I don’t know if I love.
Do I want to?
If I live through life, would I?
Or will I meet my death?
Or will I do my trial of god?
Or will I live tomorrow in hell.
Love my life, hate can be dead.
If I know.
Beat my heart until.

He labored there typing for hours ignoring his cerebral palsy. Dr. Pinnock grew up with his family until August of 1970. Poverty forced his parents to make him a ward of the State of Connecticut. more…
