Allen Ginsberg’s Style
Allen Ginsberg’s Shit
(In Poetic Prose, Allen Ginsberg’s style)
Before Allen Ginsberg died, he wrote some poetic prose on how much he had to shit, and he used the word shit—explicitly, and profoundly—; as he got old, and older, the worse this designed and kind of poetry got—that is to say, more descriptive and announcing. Disgusting isn’t it, as this poem is I’m sure. But he is considered by most of our western world literary geniuses, as one of the greatest poets of the 20th Century! How can this be? It doesn’t take much does it? Or is that a sign of the times. (I’m sure he’d be proud of this poem, although to be honest, I’m not).
No: 3089 (Morning of the 23rd of September, 2011) Dedicated to A.G. I don’t like belittling poets, but what we write we feed our public, our children, our nations as a whole. Much of Allen’s poetry is of this nature, so it’s no wonder why our world is going to hell, quicker than the life of a dandelion.
