Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Heaven

        Heaven

                  was only half as far that night

at the poetry recital

                                  listening to the burnt phrases


when I heard the poet have




                                       a rhyming erection

                  then look away with a



                                      lost look



               'Every animal' he said at last

                    'After intercourse is sad'

        But the back-row lovers
                                             looked oblivious

                              and glad


Lawrence Ferlinghetti, (Yonkers, Nueva York, 1919). Doctor en Periodismo por la Universidad de la Sorbona. Poeta, periodista y editor perteneciente a la generación Beat.
