This one is unique, Dick. I was surprised to see the date.

Agreed! It feels like it was written in the 1950s or 60s.

Interesting piece, as you say, preceding the Beats by some 30+ years. Love the final lines of your response, Dick!

Cheers Paul - yeah, there is a lot of forgotten poetry from this period that precedes the Beats which has never really been acknowledged. :-) Aw thanks - those last lines almost didn't make it, but just before I posted it, I paused, cause I suddenly felt like something was missing, and here we are. Glad I trusted my gut and spent some more time finishing the verse.
