Ginsberg Greetings

No hay rima. No se trata de verso blanco. No se trata de poemas en prosa. Yo tan solo lo considero poesía pura, que es realidad: es mente, es mundo y es universo. Máximas absolutas que, aunque tenga que contradecirlo al querer halagarlo, no me coaccionan. Lo admiro, lo adoro, y le estoy enormemente agradecida.









Cosmopolitan Greetings (1986)  by Allen Ginsberg 

Stand up against governments, against God.

Stay irresponsible.

Say only what we know & imagine.

Absolutes are coercion.

Change is absolute.

Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions.

Observe what's vivid.

Notice what you notice.

Catch yourself thinking.

Vividness is self-selecting.

If we don't show anyone, we're free to write anything.

Remember the future.

Advise only yourself.

Don't drink yourself to death.

Two molecules clanking against each other requires an observer to become
scientific data.

The measuring instrument determines the appearance of the phenomenal
world after Einstein.

The universe is subjective.

Walt Whitman celebrated Person.

We Are an observer, measuring instrument, eye, subject, Person.

Universe is person.

Inside skull vast as outside skull.

Mind is outer space.

"Each on his bed spoke to himself alone, making no sound."

First thought, best thought.

Mind is shapely, Art is shapely.

Maximum information, minimum number of syllables.

Syntax condensed, sound is solid.

Intense fragments of spoken idiom, best.

Consonants around vowels make sense.

Savor vowels, appreciate consonants.

Subject is known by what she sees.

Others can measure their vision by what we see.

Candor ends paranoia.

  2. Per cert, ahir voltava x l'FNAC i vaig veure un munt de llibres del Bukowski. Me n'anava a comprar un, que fa temps que li tinc ganes i mai n'he llegit res, però vaig pensar que potser tu em faries alguna bona suggerència :p
