*Holy my mother in the insane asylum! Holy the cocks of the grandfathers in Kansas!
Somehow I've managed to get a joyous fun out of Ginsberg's intricately bizzare prose of poetry but sublime on another level and then realized he's damn good actually. This dude had a glorious time being a beatnik around his time. I like poems like these.

it's far better listened to or read aloud than just read. on spotify you can get most of it read by ginsberg himself or you can find various readings by patti smith.
either way its better out loud than just read,
i loved it though his poetry is great if you have the patience to sit and read through it over and over
