Richard Brautigan - Gee, You're So Beautiful That It's Starting To Rain

Oh, Marcia, 
I want your long blonde beauty
to be taught in high school,
so kids will learn that God
lives like music in the skin
and sounds like a sunshine harpsicord.
I want high school report cards 
to look like this:

Playing with Gentle Glass Things
A

Computer Magic
A

Writing Letters to Those You Love
A

Finding out about Fish
A

Marcia's Long Blonde Beauty
A+!

Gee, You're So Beautiful That It's Starting To Rain - Comments and Information
Poet: Richard Brautigan Poem: Gee, You're So Beautiful That It's Starting To Rain Year: Published/Written in 1950 Poem of the Day: Jan 28 2013 Comment 1 of 1, added on June 11th, 2009 at 12:34 PM. As with "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace", Brautigan seems prescient with regard to the coming of computers into our daily lives. As if he knew computers would be so much a part of our everday lives, he hoped, wished, for the best. A true romantic. And, in this poem, doubly romantic about the state of education, and about what he hoped would be taught to children in schools.
