Patti Smith

"footnote to howl" by allen ginsberg
Holy! holy! holy! holy! holy! holy! holy! holy! holy!
Holy! holy! holy! holy! holy! holy!
The world is holy! the soul is holy! the skin is holy!
The nose is holy! the tongue and cock and hand
And asshole holy!
Everything is holy! everybodys holy! everywhere is
Holy! everyday is in eternity! everymans an
Angel!
The bums as holy as the seraphim! the madman is
Holy as you my soul are holy!
The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is
Holy the hearers are holy the ecstasy is holy!
Holy peter holy allen holy solomon holy lucien holy
Kerouac holy huncke holy burroughs holy cassady
Holy the unknown buggered and suffering
Beggars holy the hideous human angels!
Holy my mother in the insane asylum! holy the cocks
Of the grandfathers of kansas!
Holy the groaning saxophone! holy the bop
Apocalypse! holy the jazzbands marijuana
Hipsters peace & junk & drums!
