"everything in the cosmos was going to be drawn into the poem,
nothing must to be laughed at because it was already laughing,
nothing was too serious because it was already grieving,
the ache and the flirtation,
all this range,
this massive Spectrum ,
what a...what a thrill"
Bono
on Allen Ginsburg, Poet
<*>
gotta tell ya,
every time I read this
quote,
two things happen:
get a headache and must
lie/lay down
and no. 2,
people who took a lotta drugs
write pretty good poems and songs
so where did I go wrong?
