Times are Hard for Dreamers

About Me


Made with the MyTheme myspace editor
"I am here to inform these modern times of the grammatical era's end and the beginning of flamboyance especially in cinema." (Godard's "Week End")America I've given you all and now I'm nothing. America two dollars and twenty-seven cents January 17, 1956. I can't stand my own mind. America when will we end the human war? Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb I don't feel good don't bother me. I won't write my poem till I'm in my right mind. America when will you be angelic? When will you take off your clothes? When will you look at yourself through the grave? When will you be worthy of your million Trotskyites? America why are your libraries full of tears? America when will you send your eggs to India? I'm sick of your insane demands. When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks? America after all it is you and I who are perfect not the next world. Your machinery is too much for me. - Allen Ginsberg - exceprt from "America"“Only in art, today, can the fettered, mechanically burdened soul of man speak out his revolt against the dead hand of rationalism. Only through art is it any longer possible to reach that all but burdened spark of natural life dying under the intolerable weight of modern man’s sadistic super-ego. And only through art will man find a path back to his spontaneous, natural creativeness.”- Mildred Brady -from the New Cult of Sex and Anarchy 1947
