My Back Pages |
| Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth |
| «Rip down all hate,» I screamed |
| Lies that life is black and white |
| Spoke from my skull I dreamed |
| Romantic facts of musketeers |
| Foundationed deep, somehow |
| Ah, but I was so much older then |
| I’m younger than that now |
| Girl’s faces formed the forward path |
| From phony jealousy |
| To memorizing politics |
| Of ancient history |
| Flung down by corpse evangelists |
| Unthought of, though, somehow |
| Ah, but I was so much older then |
| I’m younger than that now |
| A self-ordained professor’s tongue |
| Too serious to fool |
| Spouted out that liberty |
| Is just equality in school |
| «Equality,» I spoke the word |
| As if a wedding vow |
| Ah, but I was so much older then |
| I’m younger than that now |
