PETER ORLOVSKY

“Realize big difference
between me & Allen—
he has such far verbal
poetry image—I get
high thro feeling”
—Peter Orlovsky
CLEAN ASSHOLE POEMS
____________

I never did get off much—
on Naropa & all that shit

So my toe would curl—
and become a snail
_________

Then going curiously—
on its own way

One room is all—
I’ll ever know
__________

One bed plus—
memory ramblings

Writing poems such—
a lonely act
