They Don’t Howl No More

[image error]I saw the greatest

words of my generation

wasted, strunked and white

wrung out with punctuation

dying a slow txtng death

 

Used in minor+myopic+

progressive+political+positions,

smoking unfiltered vowels

and whoring themselves out

to uniformly avante garde

literary publishers.

 

While spellcheck

gently weeps

and asks

in its best

Forrest Gump

to replace French words

with good solid American ones….

 

I am not a fan of Ginsberg,

only of his best students,

Al and Bobby and others,

you know who you are,

the ones who know the Negro

streets at dawn are

the best places to be.

 

The best words, my generation

whoring Colorado, sudden Manhattan,

Kansas?

 

Floor of Harlem crow, tortillas & egg,

nitroglycide, phonograph,

and yes, one I chopped up

and another I madeup

like frankenstein and lecter

all monsters

sound vaguely Jewish

A rather unlikely accident?
