Quatrains

Those high lunches needn’t matter

If you are of businessman’s age

Anyway he enjoyed creating food

drifting across the Fragrant Nation

Who was it that began the mouth talk

Gave the citizens thoughtful Saliva

Nature boy came close to Government

Secret police maintained their ham & eggs

O what tragedy for multiple Chickens

O how pigs dreamt butcher night!

Sheep squawked nightmare, goat

fish sent regrets from meadow and sea

If he only could have made new Congress

We wouldn’t breathe so much sulphur smog

Sugar dances at the movies, coffee tells you on TV

and Sodium Nitrate & Nicotine Cholesterol

have nothing to do with Foreign policy.

Nature boy drifts into Central American oblivion

with Seminole Patchwork and Albert Einstein.

Nobody thought heat rays would end the world.

Allen Ginsberg
