A Poem

[in_the_blue]

Because I was discussing American poets with 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?

Relax, my friend, and take a deep breath. Not every piece of poetry speaks to every person. I'm sorry you're feeling angsty and unsettled. Have some hugs instead.
