Open a book this minute and start reading. Don’t move until you’ve reached page fifty. Until you’ve buried your thoughts in print. Cover yourself with words. Wash yourself away. Dissolve.

poetry before 4

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
                madness, starving hysterical naked,
         dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
                looking for an angry fix,
          angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
                connection to the starry dynamo in the machin-
               ery of night

The opening lines of the immortal “Howl”
-Allen Ginsberg

poetry before 4

it may not always be so; and i say
that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch
another’s, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another’s face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as i know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;

if this should be, i say if this should be—
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that i may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall i turn my face, and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands.

“it may not always be so…” by E.E. Cummings, from 100 Selected Poems. © Grove Press, 1954
