It was written when he was in college I believe, but the title and complete work is escaping what serves as my mind right now...

From powells.com interview with the Man himself:

King: It's actually a version of a poem I wrote in college. I looked and looked — you know how you do workshops, and they make offprints of material. I thought I had some offprints from that, and I didn't, and so I called the prof who taught the class, and I said, Do you have any of those offprints? He looked, and he couldn't find it, either. Really, all I remembered of the poem was the first line, "The arguments against insanity fall through with a soft shirring sound," and I really didn't have much of a clue beyond that. So I worked on it a little bit, and it actually worked better, because it was more specific to the book.

Wish somebody could find it, cause it's amazing!

The full poem is:
The arguments against insanity fall through with a soft shurring sound
These are the sounds of dead voices on dead records
Floating down the shaft of memory
When I ask you if you remember
When I turn to you in our bed
