    The waiting room
    was full of grown-up people,

    I was a fire-breathing Catholic C.O.,
    and made my manic statement,
    telling off the state and president, and then
    sat waiting sentence in the bull pen
    beside a Negro boy with curlicues
    of marijuana in his hair.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    I think a lot of people believe I’m going to fall flat on my face, and they’re still waiting for it to happen. I hope they wait forever, and I hope they keep coming to watch me.
