You know Deborah I don't really know Ferlinghetti's or Ginsberg's writing
all that well, I do know a handful of famed poems of the latter, but
otherwise .....
It reminds me of something, on another list someone pointed out similarities
of tone and idea, not verbal identity, nor form, to a piece of mine to a
poem by the New Zealand poet James K.Baxter, I was amazed by the
coincidence, as I'd never read a word of his, just at how convergences of
feeling, technique, etc can happen. I rambled on to someone for about an
hour in my usual state of bewilderment!

I'm sorry but this really reminds me of Ferlinghetti or Ginsberg (on a good
day) lol...
Fundamentalism
begins in the bum. It squeezes, squeal-eases, then then contracts
as if a closed book. Must get rid of that, must get rid of. So pure,
like a sky cleansed of clouds, radiating its hygiene
in all directions. Like, um, ah, paddy me home
ultra-violet. Burn, baby, burn. So that skin
may puss with cancer
but all will be pure
all will be white
unlike ....
what it rhymes with.
