So Holden called everyone a phony,
Don't you know JD's a millionaire,
Who rolled the Devil's dice to make us see,
A Catcher in the Rye when nothing's there.
No worse than you or me, talent divine,
Naive enough to believe in himself,
A naive genius that did define,
A brave new world not yet found on the shelf.
Now it's on the shelf, the world beats forward,
And Salinger is running from Holden,
Holden's grown horns and a tail, reaching toward,
The empty air within all rings golden.
      Catcher in the Rye's half a tragedy,
      JD Salinger's the greatest phony.
       		--By Drake Raft 1969-1994
