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
