Allen Ginsberg

 

from 'America'

America 

I used to be a communist when I was a kid I’m not sorry. 

I smoke marijuana every chance I get.

I sit in my house for days on end and stare at the roses in the closet. 

When I go to Chinatown I get drunk and never get laid. 

My mind is made up there’s going to be trouble.

You should have seen me reading Marx.

My psychoanalyst thinks I’m perfectly right.
