Beat poets sought to write in an authentic, unfettered style. “First thought, best thought” was how central Beat poet Allen Ginsberg described their method of spontaneous writing. Poetically experimental and politically dissident, the Beat poets expanded their consciousnesses through explorations of hallucinogenic drugs, sexual freedom, Eastern religion, and the natural world. They took inspiration from jazz musicians, surrealists, metaphysical poets, visionary poets such as William Blake, and haiku and Zen poetry.

a dancing crab handed me a coupon
the print was cramped and minuscule but it said "the entire goddamn world"
where to redeem such a thing
went to the temple, they laughed in my face
went to Saks, the clerks seemed hot and bothered but came up with nothing
visited the bars, the weed shops, the pool halls
I even presented it to Elon Musk in his technocratic abode
but he didn't get a chance to speak before security hustled me back out
so here I am on the street, down and out, pockets empty
except for the entire goddamn world
which holds its breath as crows glide unconcerned through the sunset sky

quote:

the moon is my dad's ballsack
swanging over the kitchen table
"i work too goddamn hard for you to be modest"
he screamed crumbs on his stomach
which is the heart's ballsack
when i was late to school the teacher hit me with a ruler
and i swore i'd never go back

like pale fire ive chambered
hushed by walls of this barren
pit spliced & raised up from the earth
the lining a hunger sent into
the air through cell partings
im afraid of & engraved deathly †'s
across my forehead so as a child
i could tell the less i ate
i could tell
& it will stay shrined & atoned for
set in these bleached
years, i am upstream now still
still glass
still the light in the glass

bro how'd you talk a cross like that

quote:

so long spent limbs chained, reversed
my kindred blushing smoke
these decades cloven by wires
tendriled & twined thru the boreal
the flesh in arbour
& the bones of these dead machines
will carry me
into this unity though i shrug
haptics into the aspects
of looped tape else tearing, that voice meshing to mold & set in gold,
so
when my teeth are gone i will dye my lips black
& i will open my arms
bare my palms
& say
i cannot say it

there's a cat in here
i pay for her food
i pick up her mess
my stomach a constellation of pinprick wounds
reduced to a chair wounded by her slightest adjustment
i'm learning something here
just not sure what

when they say that you're late just tell them
I wasn't late, the world was early

who cares if you don't
if you don't follow their rules
if you don't follow the man's rules

I walked into a coffee, uhh, a coffee joint-
whatever you call it north of the border-
Donuts
Grocery store coffee aisle aroma
Reading the menu I said, "I'll take a latte"

Grabbed the beanbag seat, that's dibs

Then they bring me this cup
A little cup, a thimble of a cup
For a little thirsty orphan child

And I said "What the hell is this?"
They call that a lot?

some kind of sick-o.

make it up
in descent through self: holics drown these nerves,
to see lightened days, i will bring them
within,
the way the body has slaved them to be
euphoria instead of
overdoses
studied by yr eyes
scanning these facets engulfed always in chiarascuric static
that to you are always
eyelid gone & so i
would pray each sleep,
our eyelids breaking open to see
between me & you & the other ghosts
another nuke clouding the sky with its
weirdness. we don't let the nukes play.
we don't let them crosswire the future
the way i have long since stopped knowing between
my veins, my nerves, my branches & bones

This burger joint
It's from the fifties
It's packed to the rafters
With beef
if you know what I mean

These cows chow down
