“The weight of the world is love.
Under the burden of solitude,
under the burden of dissatisfaction
the weight,the weight we carry is love. ”

From that time I met Allen Ginsberg. He was speaking at the Miami Book Fair so I approached him to say hi and get my books autographed. He was very friendly and chatty. I regret not having my camera that night.
When signing his autograph he always added the word “AH” as in Ahhhhh.

@SergKoren i feel this. middle school writing club with an encouraging teacher. lit club in college getting supportively roasted by my contemporaries. the random online pocket dimensions populated by some of the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness...
i guess it wasn't the writing really, but that enough angelheaded hipsters cared enough to get together about the thing.

maybe that's why we're all here, burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo.

'The Blue Angel' by Allen Ginsberg

Marlene Dietrich is singing a lament
for mechanical love.
She leans against a mortarboard tree
on a plateau by the seashore.

She’s a life-sized toy,
the doll of eternity;
her hair is shaped like an abstract hat
made out of white steel.

Her face is powdered, whitewashed and
immobile like a robot.
Jutting out of her temple, by an eye,
is a little white key.

#Poetry #AllenGinsberg

America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing.
America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956.
I can’t stand my own mind.
America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.
I don’t feel good don’t bother me.
I won’t write my poem till I’m in my right mind.
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes?
When will you look at yourself through the grave?
When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites?
America why are your libraries full of tears?
America when will you send your eggs to India?
I’m sick of your insane demands.
When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks?
America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world.
Your machinery is too much for me.
You made me want to be a saint

-Allen Ginsberg

Do you see that your face is tilted towards the sun? And the fields you're in are #blooming?

"—We’re not our skin of grime, we’re not dread bleak dusty imageless locomotives, we’re golden #sunflowers inside, blessed by our own seed & hairy naked accomplishment-bodies growing into mad black formal sunflowers in the sunset, spied on by our own eyes under the shadow of the mad locomotive riverbank sunset Frisco hilly tincan evening sitdown vision." #AllenGinsberg, #SunflowerSutra
