The crowd will disperse with alacrity as soon as I start reading my poems... :sniff: Those philistines do not understand true genius even when it is thrust upon them.

It makes too much sense; you'll never make it as a beatnik poet... :-)
To: NicknamedBob
*snif-snif* No *snif* wonder I *snif* love you *snif-snif* so much!
That was *snif* beautiful, NnB!

Hmmm. Let's try this one...
Numbers
The world is what the world is,
You can’t make it perfect.
You can’t make it safe.
You can’t make it make sense.
If you live an average life,
Half the people that you come to know,
And love,
Will die,
Before you do.
This is a statistic. You can check it out.
It’s just numbers at work.
The cold equations.
Numbers at work.
Numbers.
Numb.
Nobody said that Life was fair.
One thing we know for sure.
Death is not fair.
It may be equal,
But it isn’t fair.
Young children shouldn’t die.
Healthy young adults shouldn’t die.
Old people, who have seen too much of sadness,
And have grown weary of the torment,
May welcome uninterrupted sleep.
But I’m getting tired of it.

Personally, I do not have enough fingers to snap to show my approval.
To: NicknamedBob
Most of the beatnik stuff that I have read is like this:
Velvet swirls
on the cosmic monkey
Howl!
Where is my rhubarb?
I beat a rythm on the dashboard
but the blind man cannot smirk.
I bought a tangerine
but it tasted of pennies
and I blew out the candle.

Groovy!
*snap*
I like it!
*snap*
I bet you're proud enough to push your suspenders out!

Like, you are, like, too cool. Dig it.
Seriously, your original work is pretty damned good.

:Tries to snap fingers:
That was boo-te-ful. I still want to know when you are going to publish a book of poetry.

I keep myself balanced by occupying both ends of the see-saw.

Where is my rhubarb? Isn't that the question we are all asking? Where is my rhubarb?
Deep. Very deep.

"...I still want to know when ..." I've been giving it more and more serious consideration.
What would you think of my putting a CD of my reading my poems in with the book?

I think I would rather not know where my rhubarb is. Or has been, thanks...

Hence, the "Howl!", man. Like, you really dig, Daddy-o.
