Guess I feel like A.G. Today

I wrote this when Allen Ginsberg died in 1997. It was my first published work, in SD City College's CityWorks Anthology.

Allen Ginsberg is All About

All about disarmament and harmony shining in the Death Throes of the Twentieth Century.

All About queer boys in dark alleys and I’ll tell you, with no offense intended, for talking about love all love is all.

All about sitting in Zen meditation on the train tracks at Rocky Flats nuclear madness in front of the weapons car chanting love above.

All about telling us God is everywhere even in supermarket aisles with sex and drugs and flowers available at the right price which is freedom.

About all he can say really is that you are one, we are one, one love sex death beauty art appreciates life One.

All about writing automatically gets to the truth which is God which could be about morals but is really about compassion.

All about goodbye. Parting doesn’t really happen in ZaZen universe illusion is hate, intolerance Death is Love transcendence poets speak now.
