Inside skull vast as outside skull
Allen Ginsberg
My books piled up before me for my use waiting in space where I placed them, they haven't disappeared, time's left its remnants and qualities for me to use -- my words piled up, my texts, my manuscripts, my loves.
Allen Ginsberg
Poets are Damned... but See with the Eyes of Angels.

Allen Ginsberg
They [Nicaragua] haven't had elections because they are in a state of seige by the United States. They would have had elections if the U.S. had left them alone. But the U.S. has mounted a full scale war against them. So how can you ask them to behave normally?
Allen Ginsberg
I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.
Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
Our heads are round so thought can change direction
Allen Ginsberg
Subject is known by what she sees.
Allen Ginsberg
This is the same notion - Catholic exorcism, psychotherapy, shamanistic practices - getting to the moment when whatever it was gained access. And also to the name of the spirit. Just to know that it's the Ugly Spirit. That's a great step. Because the spirit doesn't want its name to be known.
