Hey Allen Ginsberg Where Have You Gone and What Would You Think of My Drugs?

Anyway, I have a lifelong mission to write "The Ultimate Jew Poem" which is basically the poem that best expresses the complications, subtleties, beauty, and sheer oddness of being a Jewish-y, Atheist-y thing.
And I believe this lady has accomplished that. Rachel Zucker, take it away.
" I am here because of this.Because of what my ancestors did for me to tell thisstory of the outstretched hand what it did for me thismarked door and behind this red-marked door, arounda corner a blue-eyed boy waits to love me up with his leavened bread, his slim body, professional detachment, medical advancements, forgive me my father's mother'sfather was the last in a long line of Rabbis—again! with this? Thisrhapsody of affliction and escape, the mind bobbing alongin its watery safe. Be like everyone. Else. Indistinguishable butbetter than the other nations but that's what got us into this, Allen,no one writes these long-ass poems anymore. Now we'rebetter, all better. All Christian. Kind."Also, as a side note: "Queer Jews: Putting the 'Men' Back in Menorah"
I See Your Bukowski
And I raise you Jimmy.
He just oozes sexuality. Look at what he's doing with his lips. I sense a gay-crush coming on.

"One afternoon, red, satyr-thighed
Michael, the Irish setter, head
Passionately lowered, led
The child I was to a shut door. Inside,
Blinds beat sun from the bed.
The green-gold room throbbed like a bruise.
Under a sheet, clad in taboos
Lay whom we sought, her hair undone, outspread,
And of a blackness found, if ever now, in old
Engravings where the acid bit.
I must have needed to touch it
Or the whiteness—was she dead?
Her eyes flew open, startled strange and cold.
The dog slumped to the floor. She reached for me. I fled."
James Merrill [March 3, 1926 – February 6, 1995]
p.s.
Beloved Head Tamponette: not all of us can sit around all day posting moos-tashes. I try. I really do. But you're a tough act to follow/keep up with.
