From Steven Elliott

"I keep thinking about that line in Howl from a 1959 interview with Allen Ginsburg where Allen says he told his psychiatrist he didn't want to work, he just wanted to lay around and write poetry but he was worried about the future, worried who would take care of him. To live in a big city without a job writing poems, what an amazing feat to pull off."

The current nature of the opposite sex

There are frequently
drunks in history
making a mess of things;
men for the most part -

Ladies, ladies, LADIES!
your non-violent ways
work better for the world.

(so stay sober,
forget the alcohol)
