ADOLESCENCE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I don't know what I want, but I want something
Last Line: I'll try a good big beefsteak, chicken-fried!
Subject(s): Adolescence; Teen Agers


I don't know what I want, but I want something.
I dream sometimes of fairyland delight,
Faint music, dewy grass, great moonlike lanterns,
And dancing figures, white against the night.
I think I'll write a book, on Love and Beauty,
Or go to sea and drift out with the tide.
I don't know what I want, but I want something ...
I'll try a good big beefsteak, chicken-fried!
