Clubs: “Unable to find competent leaders or teachers, unable to discover intelligent persons in places of authority, unable to find anything other than pseudo-christian bigotry and ignorance—I decided to commit suicide at 17.

About me:
i am a poet from cleveland, and i helped to start the beatnik movement here. i maintained several underground poetry publications, including the marrahwannah quarterly and the buddhist 3rd class junkmail oracle. i was a pioneer for concrete poetry.
the cleveland police didn't agree with my pacifism, and they issued a secret indictment in which i was accused of corruption, and the passing out of obscene literature. i was only 25 when i died in 1968, of suicide. a lot of suspicion surrounds that though.
"...in cleveland we got busted
for giving away poems like
the welfare dept
the city officials were
gagging on soybean & peanut
butter poems -- very strange!"

Who I'd like to meet:
"...people are people
no matter what politics
color or words they use
& they all have children
buried in their head..."
-from 'tombstone as a lonely charm,' part 3
