1 Beneath
Literature
Is in good hands, it is being written
By liberated sex-maniacs, psychologists
With an eye to higher things, and novelists
Convinced they are psychiatric social-workers
With a mission to the slums of the human heart;
It is being written by disgraced politicians
From the safety of minimum-security prisons
With pastel walls affording them protection from
The lower class of criminal while they write
Of finding Jesus, Who has given them
The hundred thousand dollar advance against
The major motion picture soon to be made;
And now new generations of trained chimpanzees
Are manning their machines, moving their lips,
Coming along slowly, all thumbs and unopposable.
The Serial
The last year’s phone books lying in the rain
With other garbage to be taken away
Are obsolescing programs that contain
The dramatis personae of a play
So vast its purposes and plot
Go ramifying out of mortal sight
In intricate radiations, rise and rot;
Here lie the yellow pages and the white,
Going concerns and bankrupt, where the dead
Hide with the living in the book of life,
The slowly moving serial unread
Whose singles with the husband and the wife
Are persons parted, who as they leave the stage
Get quietly stood in for, page by
