    San Francisco
    - by Richard Brautigan

    This poem was found written on a paper bag by Richard Brautigan in a laundromat in San Francisco. The author is unknown.

    By accident, you put
    Your money in my
    Machine (#4)
    By accident, I put
    My money in another
    Machine (#6)
    On purpose, I put
    Your clothes in the
    Empty machine full
    Of water and no
    Clothes

    It was lonely.

  4. Confession

    Countee Cullen

    If for a day joy masters me,
    Think not my wounds are healed;
    Far deeper than the scars you see,
    I keep the roots concealed.

    They shall bear blossoms with the fall;
    I have their word for this,
    Who tend my roots with rains of gall,
    And suns of prejudice.
