I've always loved this poem. I'm reading for howl festival. Will you be there?

[kornleaf]

unfortunately this is the first that i have heard of the festival
and since it is apparently in NY and i am on the other coast,
i find it doubtful that i will make it there.

I want to write an updated version of this poem,
from my year's perspective
perhaps i will get it done by then.

God, I love Ginsberg.
