inspired: gray old men in soiled raincoats
& drunk, ***** young |
girls w/ ratty | | |
pink & blue [hair]; |
Russian girls [dressing like second-hand (Barbie's & Chloe's)
postmodern fembots in white ankle go-go boots
& Pucci miniskirts w/
moth-eaten colored ||
tights
gather in dusty libraries reeking of
old books & alcohol & later, strong ****** of going
to college [ ] parties & losing tenure;
Artaud [Rimbaud, Burroughs, Villon], Bukowski &
Berryman: insane [Whitman, Ginsberg, Carroll -
Plath, Smith, Millay, Teasdale] |
losers | like old bearded (Dorothy Parker)
uncles reciting gutter odes;
paraphrasing classical epics -
[Gilgemesh,
the Death of Arthur,
Large & Small Eddas]:
***** young girls [ ] write flirty love poetry
to old
men & teasing boys their age w/ insight: boys
knowing nothing of insight, | all except | ||
| that one poet
