Who Possesses a Poem?

 

Just as a father passes on to his child

The popular music of his long-lost youth

A teacher passes on to those in his care

The ‘way-cool poetry of his own lost youth

 

Where once we hid McKuen behind Millay

Young people today hide – but we don’t know what they hide

That is the nature of hiding and hidden

But they’re hiding something, and that’s good

 

We celebrated the verse of our youth

For youth celebrate their own private verse
