The Class

We took the world as given. Cigarettes
Were 20-several cents a pack, & gas
As much per gallon. Sex came wrapped
in rubber
And veiled in supernatural scruples—
call
Them chivalry…

Psychology was in the mind; abstract
Things grabbed us where we lived; the
only life
Worth living was the private life, and—
last
Worst scandal in this characterisation—
We did not know we were a generation.
