Last night I went

Posted in Poems by Kunal Goel

Last night I went and raced with the Highway Patrol
But that Pontiac done had more guts than mine.
And so I wrapped my tail around a telephone pole
And now my baby she just sits a cryin’.
I’m up in heaven, darlin’, now don’t you cry;
Ain’t no reason why you should be blue.
Just go on out and race a cop in Daddy’s old Ford
And you can join me up in heaven, too.

-Thomas Pynchon - V.

    yeah i feel it too.
    you know ive felt it all my life
    the “loser” philosophy
    bruce springstten
    and on the waterfront
    “my best was never good enough”

    The opening is grand… the ending is weak, but overall a nice poem!
