I Live In The Twentieth Century Poem by Richard Brautigan

I Live In The Twentieth Century

Rating: 3.2


I live in the Twentieth Century
and you lie here beside me. You
were unhappy when you fell asleep.
There was nothing I could do about
it. I felt hopeless. Your face
is so beautiful that I cannot stop
to describe it, and there's nothing
I can do to make you happy while
you sleep.
