Generation
BY PAUL FORD
Joe and Madeline
graduated Cornell & went on
to Ph (got married) Ds @ NYU.
gestured intensively
as they rapped a concept
till it, surrounded,
surrendered.
Somehow though it galled
their living for thought
the rent was scrounged up
& the bread got bought,
bed often enough made & unmade etc.
Two kids
bridged their discussions
like afterthoughts.
They tuned out
Joe and Madeline's
mouth.
