look at those nuns; selflessness
I figured that life is boring
A terrific bore
God help!
I remember now its clear
It's such a crappy illumination
Now Phoebe...
A masterpiece
human? maybe
ok please this is enough
I'm a madman
I wish the real world would stop hassling me

Literary Analysis: This poem catches the central thought of the book because it essentially shows what going on in Holden's mind. The first line shows that he actually likes some aspects of life. One of which are the nuns he used to watch. Another would be his innocent sister who understand him far beyond what anyway else cares to do. The rest of the poem basically shows what Holden is all about. He rejects what is actually around him and
