The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan (25 page)

It’s
ME
.

Now I read a sex book

from the Library of

JIMMY SCHUYLER
.

“He loves ’em.”

(
JOE BRAINARD
)

Out the Window

is

Out to Lunch!!

Some people one should only

fuck once.

Others one should not fuck

at all unless there is an

affair.

Then there are those one should

not fuck, under almost any

circumstances (tho lapses are

forgiveable)

Let me see: I’ve fucked in

Rhode Island

Maine

Vermont

New York

Florida

Texas

Oklahoma

New Mexico

Colorado

California

Michigan

Iowa

Pennsylvania

Kansas

Connecticut

Japan

&

Korea

And

In beds

On floors

In Bathrooms at Parties

In Hallways

In Cars

On Rooftops

Window-Sills

&

At a bus Stop

Never did fuck any boys

(I think)

or

get fucked by any

Tho a few blow-jobs

for curiosity

or

because someone really

wanted to.

Oops!       Add

“In Life-raft

on Lake”

Always wanted to fuck in Air-Planes

& On Trains
