Spontaneous Verse


SPONTANEOUS VERSE    



“first personal fastwrite”
—Allen Ginsberg, THE VISIONS
OF THE GREAT REMEMBERER
_____________

Submissive to everything, open, listening

In love with yr life 
______________________

Something scribbled in secret notebooks

Wild typewritten pages
______________

For yr own joy crazy dumbsaint mind 

Blow yourself
__________________

Try never get stoned outside yr own house 

Be bottomless from bottom of your mind 
_________________

Feel your own form 

Time for poetry that’s exactly what it says 
________________

Visionary tics deep as you can find them

Write about your fixations 
_______________

Dreaming upon object before you 

Remove literary, grammatical hang-ups
_______________

Unspeakable visions of the individual 

No syntactical inhibitions 
____________

Like Proust be an old teahead of time 

Shiver in your heart be entranced
_______________

Genius all the time 

Writer-Director of Earthly movies 
_______________

Sponsored & Angeled in Heavenly form 

In praise of gay Character
_________________

On Bleak Brokeback Mountain

Composing wild, undisciplined lines
__________________

Coming in from under, crazier the better 

You've got a special knowledge 
_______________

Write for the world to read it

And see yr exact pictures of it 
______________

Bookmovie is the movie in words

The visual American picture 
_________________

Keep track of every day 

The date emblazoned in yr mind 
_____________

No fear or shame in the dignity of yr experience

Language contours of your life 
_______________

Struggle to sketch the flow 

That already exists intact in your mind 
__________________

Don’t think of words when you stop 

Try to see in recollection and amazement 
_________________

Your work from pithy middle eye out

Swimming in language sea 
_______________-

Accept loss forever 

Believe both sacred and profane
_______________

Telling the true story of your life

Interior monolog like Joyce
______________

Jewel center of interest 

The eye within the eye 
______________

Write
