    seated before a family and the family thinking
    We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
    After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
    Such a Way as gives us breath:
    Such a Truth as ends all strife:
    Such a Life as killeth death.
