The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan (26 page)

Maybe later

I sort of hate to be on the

Make

Like to have some-one

on the Make

for me

&

then

Take Over

Last time I counted I think

It was about

50

The number of people,

I mean

Only about 10 were once.

No, maybe 15.

& that’s counting

Japan

&

Korea

Many of them, those girls,

& me,

we still do it when we

get a chance.

One, at least, is dead.

I wish one that’s alive

were here.

Or Anne,

who is

dead.

I’m sure she’d love to fuck

on a train

Remember the night we did

it in your house,

Joe?

(Me and Anne, that is)

It was Nice
