pinching poems
some of my best poems
began with my pants
around my ankles
a long deep breath
a determined push
then finally
a resounding
plop
This is Allen Ginsberg’s reading list for his class, “Literary History of the Beats.” (Yes, he is on it.)

I thought I was well read, but I guess not. Keeping this for future reference…
what a way to go
I want to lose myself
in the burn
of a good bourbon
and the welcoming bed
of a sweet woman
let the confusion
of sex and booze
consume me
tangle me in sheets
and long legs
then smother me
please, with a pillow
as we lie there
sweating and spent,
staring at the ceiling
smoking cigarettes
and sipping fire
so I might slip
into the inevitable
with a smile
