    You Talkin' To Me?


    M    anhattan Irish Italian,
    American idol, screen and stage,
    Robert, though a junior,
    Took Hollywood bull by Rage.
    Iconic Taxi Driver,
    Neurotic Foster slave,
    Supported Coppola's Godfather,
    Famed Vito's early age.
    Al Capone imitator,
    Vietnam prisoner vet,
    Ordained psychotic hunter,
    Ruled at russian roulette.
    Introduced Jake and Noodles,
    Travis Bickle and Jimmy C,
    Eccentric among good fellas,
    Al Pacino and Joe Pesci.
    Cady was fear personified,
    Tilden Cop Land's reality,
    Original New York wiseguy,
    Remembered for "You Talkin' To Me?"

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
