“O how terrible it must be for a young man—
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)

Because he loves too much.
Words I have that can pierce the heart,
But what can he do but touch?”
Day-break and a candle end.
