Holden Caulfield is from the edge
From neon light flash and city cars
He is from the busyness
He is from the dirty and messy
The extremes only
As if it has a border between

He is from the free minded
From a frozen time of innocence
He has an obscure and a darkened mind
That could almost hurt himself
He’s from the child-like enthusiasm and adult-like incisiveness
He’s from the heart of Phoebe’s
From her gentleness and pleasantness

He’s from a bar in the Lavender Room
From the unknowns
He’s unaccompanied
From the drinks and cocktails
Filled with his miseries and misunderstandings
From the stuck up world

Pencey Prep is still there
Giving him a hard time
During times of stress
Lingering around the building
He is stuck in those moments
Could not forget easily
Could not move away, pull away
