Random Poetry - Richard Brauigan

I am planning to randomly publish poetries from my favourite poets (as ever,
this list grows day after day).
These sample poems are from Richard Brauigan.I encourage you to google (search the web) for more details about this poet.

Color As Beginning
Forget love
I want to die
in your yellow hair

My Nose Is Growing Old
Yup.
A long lazy September look
in the mirror
says it's true.
I'm 31
and my nose is growing old.
It starts about 1/2 an inch
below the bridge
and strolls geriatrically
down for another inch or so:
stopping.
Fortunately, the restof the nose is comparatively
young.
I wonder if the girls will want me with an
old nose.
I can hear them now
the heartless bitches!
"He's cute
but his nose
is old"

At the California Institute of Technology
I don't care how God-damn smart
these guys are: I'm bored.
