Excerpt
H�ST 1965
77.
En nedtegnelse funnet p� en av de sm� lekseblokkene du f�r for ti cent hos Gussie's . .
. jeg skrev om en LSD-opplevelse jeg hadde for en stund siden:
"Sm�unger kaster klinkekuler
der greinene bryter sola
opp i grasi�se spyd av lys . . .
jeg �nsker bar � v�re rein."
Jeg fant det helt oppsmuldra i ei gammal bukse i historietimen i morges.
From The Basketball Diaries, Penguin Edition (1987), pages
140-41.
Fall 1965
A note found on one of those little homework pads you cop for ten cents at Gussie's . . .
I wrote on an experience with L.S. D. a while ago:
"Little kids shoot marbles
where the branches break the sun
into graceful shafts of light . . .
I just want to be pure."
I found it all crumbled up in these old pants in history class this morning.
