Now they asked me to read a poem
At the sorority sister’s home
I got knocked down and my head was swimmin’
I wound up with the Dean of Women
Yippee! I’m a poet, and I know it.
Hope I don’t blow it.
— Bob Dylan, I Shall Be Free No. 10

In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.

I’m younger than that now.
— Bob Dylan, My Back Pages
