Second Night in NYC after 3 years

A Short but great little poem I think, by Gregory Corso. The 'epiloque' just happened.

I was happy I was bubbly drunk
The street was dark
I waved to a young policeman
He smiled
I went up to him and like a flood of gold
Told him all about my prison youth
About how noble and great some convicts were
And about how I had just returned from Europe
Which wasn't half as enlightening as prison
And he listened attentively I told no lie
Everything was truth and humor
He laughed
He laughed
And it made me so happy I said:
'Absolve it all, kiss me !'
No no no no ! he said and hurried away.

Such a cheerful poem. Hearing it makes me want to go the NYC, but are the police there so friendly? I'll get there one day and find out for myself. Thanks for introducing me to this little gem
