People treat Ginsberg and his poetry as an artifact, or purely as an intellectual experience.

That is like learning about frogs by cutting them up in a laboratory.

Ginsberg gave us a gift, which was mainly opening the door for us to enter. I don't think he intended people to stand and look at him and say, "cool, you're Allen Ginsberg. Wow!"

Go. . .Do. . .Be. .
