Music Babble

Honestly it's been a million years since I read any of the beats, but I remember liking Corso more than Ginsberg/Ferlinghetti/Snyder, the only others I remember reading. It could have just been a contrarian opinion, but looking back at Marriage (maybe his best-known poem) I think I still like it. Certainly some good jokes:

When she introduces me to her parents
back straightened, hair finally combed, strangled by a tie,
should I sit with my knees together on their 3rd degree sofa
and not ask Where's the bathroom?
How else to feel other than I am,
often thinking Flash Gordon soap-
O how terrible it must be for a young man
seated before a family and the family thinking
We never saw him before! He wants our Mary Lou!
After tea and homemade cookies they ask What do you do for a living?

Should I tell them? Would they like me then?
Say All right get married, we're losing a daughter
but we're gaining a son-
And should I then ask Where's the bathroom?
