[HELP] forgot the name/author of a poem i loved...
It MIGHT have been Corso, it looked like this:
we caroused ____did the bars ________became fast friends
That triplet sticks out so strong in my memory tho i might be confusing words. Pretty solid on "caroused" bc what a strange word.
A teacher showed us this poem in eighth grade, but she had at least slightly eclectic taste - eclectic enough to show us some of Kerouac and Ginsberg's friends in their unit; not eclectic enough that this would have been from some truly no-name or a recent writing in the style of _.
It was a short poem - no more than like 16 lines at most. i can't remember the middle, which is what i would love to read again.
but it ended in something like
"you've brought something into the world to die!"
that, an exclamation from the narrator's friend upon the friend seeing the narrator's infant child.
Okay, don't call me strange for saying i love this poem lmao, it made me think about edgy artists squaring their identities of artist and real person
edit: Idk how to reddit so pretend instead of underscores it's just whitespace; all i mean is i remember a style of increasing indent per line in each stanza. And the double spacing is reddit's decision not mine; i just remember those three lines, normal spaced but increasing indent, being the opening lines in the first stanza
