Standing in the Tate all alone
Looking at Rothko on the wall
It seemed like an otherworldly moan
Advertent but also vericose

Went to Shakespeare's birthplace
And ate some steamed tomatoes
Stood near a statue of Dante
In Verona with a friend
Drank beer near the Dublin writer's museum
That was fun
I cannot tell you how lonely and lost I felt

Read Persuasion in Bath and took some long walks
Smoked a lot and heard Schubert by myself in Oxford
Sat on lectures on Lowell and Bishop at the school
Felt like my soul was a never-ending stammer

Fell in love with a redheaded girl I talked to once
Spent most of my time alone in my room
Ate a dinner near the end with some people at a sushi place
By then I had turned completely into the maroon and black Rothko
