1952, CAMBRIDGE

Off Plimpton Street, in the nook to Apthorpe House

Underneath a spreading chestnut tree, underneath

The lilacs all in bloom, at night, woebegone

And stirring in the Spring, I kissed a boy, a blacksmith's son,

Fierce, like you would a woman. Get a woman,

Get a woman, get a woman if you can;

If you can't get a woman, get a Harvard man.
