Lawrence Ferlinghetti | Mar 1919-? | American
from Coney Island of the Mind; Mar 1919
The pennycandystore beyond the El
Is where I first
Fell in love
With unreality
Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom
Of that September afternoon
A cat upon the counter moved among
The licorice sticks
And tootsie rolls
And Oh Boy Gum.
Outside the leaves were falling as they died.
A wind had blown away the sun
A girl ran in
Her hair was rainy
Her breasts were breathless in the little room
Outside the leaves were falling
and they cried
Too soon! Too soon!
