Allen Ginsberg Is Now A "Household Word"
Darling, would you please hand me the
Allen Ginsberg?
I've had a terrible day. First of all,
one of my favorite blue kaddishes broke,
you know, that Aunt Rose sent from Europe.
Then, that silly old al gizmo fell apart
in the basement. The repairman said it
might be cracked or even kerouacked, can't
tell which. Well, whatever can I do?
Horace Jr. began to beat his beets and
howl, actually howl, for more ginzy on
his reality sandwich. So I just sent
him our for a copy of the Planet News.
When I was getting ready for you, dear
sweetheart, to come...my empty mirror
broke and I knew bad luck was near.
Horace came back to the Planet News,
headline read:
City Lights Gone Out - People Gone Mad
Throwing Ferlingetti All Over Streets.
I think today is just an airplane dream. So, darling
would you please hand me the Allen Ginsberg.
