A Poem

Because I was discussing American poets with [livejournal.com profile] dopplegl: this is Dear Girl by Gregory Corso:
With people conformed
Away from pre-raphaelite furniture
With no promise but that of Japanese sparsity
I take up house
Ready to eat with you and sleep with you

But when the conquered spirit breaks free
And indicates a new light
Who'll take care of the cats?
