Ginsberg

I can't wait.

America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing.
America two dollars and twenty seven cents January 17, 1956.
I can’t stand my own mind.
I’m addressing you.
Are you going to let your emotional life be run by Time Magazine?
I’m obsessed by Time Magazine.
I read it every week.

It feels like this poem has been living inside of me. When I heard it on the Dylan documentary, things started to make sense.
