I always wondered who you were when I saw you out
I always wondered what your story was to tell
I didn’t realize that you would be so different
I didn’t realize that you didn’t know either.

Do you remember the Beatnik generation?
Those angry young men with long hair
You could see them playing a guitar in a station
Strumming and singing without a care
Where are they now, that lost generation?
Now, the new generation by comparison
Singing platitudes, a yuppy sensation
Tame, well groomed, without passion
Looking back, I was a beatnik teen
Now I am part of the suburban scene
His
young life
a forfeit-
singleness her
cross.
