I read this in college, meaning forty-some years ago. I believe another student wrote it, possibly for a “creative writing” class. So far as I know, it was never published, and I no longer remember how it came into my hands. I am very sure of all the words except for the portion I’ve summarized in brackets.

F.O.G.E.Y.: Fifties and Older Generation ... Enemies of the Young — the extremist wing of the Gray Panthers
Quote:A Pride of Craft
Pickpockets
Pick the pockets
Of a crowd jeering pickpockets
Kicking on the gallows.
This is not [three words or phrases expressing something like recklessness or chutzpah — as a possible example, “impudence, arrogance, or showing off”];
Just a pride of craft.
