Allen Ginsberg - The Terms In Which I Think Of Reality

Reality is a question br of realizing how real br the world is already. br br Time is Eternity, br ultimate and immovable; br everyone's an angel. br br It's Heaven's mystery br of changing perfection : br absolute Eternity br br changes! Cars are always br going down the street, br lamps go off and on. br br It's a great flat plain; br we can see everything br on top of a table. br br Clams open on the table, br lambs are eaten by worms br on the plain. The motion br br of change is beautiful, br as well as form called br in and out of being. br br br Next : to distinguish process br in its particularity with br an eye to the initiation br br of gratifying new changes br desired in the real world. br Here we're overwhelmed br br with such unpleasant detail br we dream again of Heaven. br For the world is a mountain br br of shit : if it's going to br be moved at all, it's got br to be taken by handfuls. br br br Man lives like the unhappy br whore on River Street who br in her Eternity gets only br br a couple of bucks and a lot br of snide remarks in return br for seeking physical love br br the best way she knows how, br never really heard of a glad br job or joyous marriage or br br a difference in the heart : br or thinks it isn't for her, br which is her worst misery.
