"I Am 25" - a poem by Gregory Corso
With a love a madness for Shelley
Chatterton Rimbaudand
the needy-yap of my youth
has gone from ear to ear:
I HATE OLD POETMEN!
Especially old poetmen who retract
who consult other old poetmen
who speak their youth in whispers,
saying:--I did those then
but that was then
that was then-
O I would quiet old men
say to them:--I am your friend
what you once were, thru me
you'll be again
--Then at night in the confidence of their homes
rip out their apology-tongues
and steal their poems.
