I saw the best minds of my generation enshrined by
metachat, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the cilantro streets at dawn
looking for an angry penis,
zombiebunnyheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the fiberoptic IRC machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat
up typing in the supernatural darkness of
cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities where meetups happen,
contemplating jazz,
who bared their brains to Heaven under the T3 connection and
saw Moderating angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated,
who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes
hallucinating Ardiril and Blake-light tragedy
among the scholars of war,
who were expelled from the academies for crazy &
publishing obscene odes on the Windows vs. Mac vs. Ubuntu of the
skull,
who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burning their money in wastebaskets and listening
to the Terror or the Gossip or the Hold Steady through the wall,
who got busted in their pubic beards for shitting in a thread while returning through
Laredo with a belt of marijuana for Hugh Janus and JonMC in New York....
