dVerse Poets – Poetics – Allen Ginsberg and the Beat Generation
“Once constituted, capital reproduces itself faster than output increases. The past devours the future.” Thomas Piketty
Hey You Were you a true believer, ever, selling your sanity to the screeches of those unhinged saxophone doors, trusting those hollow voices to pledge your vote for the repeat robbery every four years of soulless lies, buried in factory drudge and mortgage blues, ammunition pin-cushions for those cowards of mealy morals for the circuit generation, held as forever infants in the corral of dumbliness in a pinata world awaiting, unconsciously of course, the beating stick to spew those candy brains on stained streets of harrow, bleeding with anguish at the revelations in newsprint voices alight across a million regretful ears now strained, holding virginal shock, asking who knew, not wanting to know, not ever, who destroyed the dream of landfill and plastic obsolescence that sparkled like summer with cheap hopes we could sweat for in eulogies of ill-health for codependents whose bass line was dirged with fear, that all would be lost, and it was all completely lost, in that cul-de-sac of avarice that drove the freight train that ran over us, spilling our philosophies of doggerel dollars for homeless rainbows where I still see you, sitting, waiting for the tooth fairy to turn that crank once more for old time's sake with the same excitement as finding a toy in the cereal packet.
