Stand up against governments, against God. <br />Stay irresponsible. <br />Say only what we know & imagine. <br />Absolutes are Coercion. <br />Change is absolute. <br />Ordinary mind includes eternal perceptions. <br />Observe what’s vivid. <br />Notice what you notice. <br />Catch yourself thinking. <br />Vividness is self-selecting. <br />If we don’t show anyone, we’re free to write anything. <br />Remember the future. <br />Freedom costs little in the U.S. <br />Asvise only myself. <br />Don’t drink yourself to death. <br />Two molecules clanking us against each other require an observer to become <br />scientific data. <br />The measuring instrument determines the appearance of the phenomenal <br />world (after Einstein). <br />The universe is subjective.. <br />Walt Whitman celebrated Person. <br />We are observer, measuring instrument, eye, subject, Person. <br />Universe is Person. <br />Inside skull is vast as outside skull. <br />What’s in between thoughts? <br />Mind is outer space. <br />What do we say to ourselves in bed at night, making no sound? <br />“First thought, best thought.” <br />Mind is shapely, Art is shapely. <br />Maximum information, minimum number of syllables. <br />Syntax condensed, sound is solid. <br />Intense fragments of spoken idiom, best. <br />Move with rhythm, roll with vowels. <br />Consonants around vowels make sense. <br />Savour vowels, appreciate consonants. <br />Subject is known by what she sees. <br />Others can measure their vision by what we see. <br />Candour ends paranoia.<br /><br />Allen Ginsberg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cosmopolitan-greetings/
