Ginsberg was Here

Nowl
By Jim Clifford

I saw the best minds of my generation
sit in coffee shops
laptops propped up like rows of tombstones.
They stare down, as if visiting a cemetery.
I hear Eleanor Rigby’s "look at all
the lonely people."

Imagine a world free of Holy Mother Media
and its Ministry of Truth
It’s easy if you try.

What a Brave New World
where the first cell was a phone.

They walk the streets like zombies,
eyes dead, talking to themselves.

Readers from "Fahrenheit 451" ?
No. They are not memorizing books
which will be burned 

for taking up space and trees.
