Poetry Italy 4

I GIOVANI (The Young)

Past adieu...now is new
Sunday mass...beardless sass
Crumbling stones...button phones
Holy creams...T.V. screens
Brownish monks...fleshy hunks
Sacred dreams...LEVI jeans
On their bikes...no one likes
Speedy cars...ugly scars
Push to start...where's the Art?
Print-out sheets...frozen meats
Dancing late...study hate
Chewing gum...US fun
Modish dress...Psychic stress
Schools of old...very cold
Press to use...Light a fuse
Mom and Dad...all is bad
Soccer match...police catch
Mary Jane...must refrain
Pregnancy...you don't see
Out of school...jobless fool


9 December 1986
