What is the title of the poem recited by Preach in Cooley High.

Question

All I know is the author Walter Benton

Answer 1

I'm not totately sure, but I think this is the one you are looking for:

How long --- how long can I live this night!

Look ...the clouds shine ---

darling, how did you do it?  The wind is so soft, the rain is beautiful ---

what did you do to the wind, and the rain, and the clouds?

And to me?

See, I am drunk, high ... I am drunk on you as on a reefer!

We will cross here where the street is crowded that I may hold your hand

We will ride the subways that we may sit touching --- that there

be no distance us.  Speak ... that I may fill my ears with you.

Stay near me, so ... that I may fill my lungs with you.

Come home with me ... that I may fill my arms with you.

Come where only I can see you, and undo your dress about your throat

And my lips will make the nipples of your b*****s burst open

like acrons planted in warm spring soil.  Come home with me ...

lift your dress high --- your thighs will light my room with moonlight,

and the hair in the pockets of them will recall to me

the darkness fir and larches in the dark mountain passes.

If only I could fit my life's times into those hours --- that I might say:

" was with her from eight to twelve'oclock ... and years passed"!

The title is Years Passed.
