I came home and found a lion in my room... <br />[First draft of "The Lion for Real" CP 174-175] <br /> <br /> <br />A lion met America <br />in the road <br />they stared at each other <br />two figures on the crossroads in the desert. <br /> <br />America screamed <br />The lion roared <br />They leaped at each other <br />America desperate to win <br />Fighting with bombs, flamethrowers, <br />knives forks submarines. <br /> <br />The lion ate America, bit off her head <br />and loped off to the golden hills <br />that's all there is to say <br />about america except <br />that now she's <br />lionshit all over the desert.<br /><br />Allen Ginsberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/making-the-lion-for-all-it-s-got-a-ballad/
