Songtexte In Back of the Real - Allen Ginsberg
Railroad
yard
in
San
Jose
I
wandered
desolate
In
front
of
a
tank
factory
And
sat
on
a
bench
Near
the
switchman's
shack.
A
flower
lay
on
the
hay
on
The
asphalt
highway
I
thought--It
had
a
Brittle
black
stem
and
Corolla
of
yellowish
dirty
Spikes
like
Jesus'
inchlong
Crown,
and
a
soiled
Dry
center
cotton
tuft
Like
a
used
shaving
brush
That's
been
lying
under
The
garage
for
a
year.
Yellow,
yellow
flower,
and
Flower
of
industry,
Tough
spiky
ugly
flower,
Flower
nonetheless,
With
the
form
of
the
great
yellow
Rose
in
your
brain!
This
is
the
flower
of
the
World.
