- Lawrence Ferlinghetti - Johnny Nolan.(A Coney Island of The Mind.)
"Johnny Nolan has a patch on his ass"
Kids chase him
thru screendoor summers
Thru the back streets
of all my memories
Somewhere a man laments
upon a violin
A doorstep baby cries
and cries again
like
a
ball
bounced
down steps
Which helps the afternoon arise again
to a moment of remembered hysteria
"Johnny Nolan has a patch on his ass"
Kids chase him
A Coney Island of the Mind
# 22
