Last night I drove a car

not knowing how to drive
not owning a car

I drove and knocked down

people I loved
…went 120 through one town.

 

I stopped at Hedgeville

and slept in the back seat

…excited about my new life.

    I particularly liked the final line. It somewhat relates to us about a re-creation, a clean slate for the life he had left. I read some of Mr. Corso’s poems and i really liked his style. (take New york City-1935)
