• Be kind to the Monk in the 5 Spot who plays lone chord-bangs on his vast piano lost in space on a bench and hearing himself in the nightclub universe— Be kind to the heroes that have lost their names in the newspaper and hear only their own supplication for the peaceful kiss of sex in the giant auditoriums of the planet, nameless voices crying for kindness in the orchestra, screaming in anguish that bliss come true and sparrows sing another hundred years to white haired babes and poets be fools of their own desire—O Anacreon and angelic Shelley! • from “Who Be Kind To” London, June 9, 1965 • 📸 Allen and Thelonious Monk sometime in 1960 at The Baroness’ apartment on Ave B after a show at the 5 Spot, by Leroy McLucas. #theloniousmonk #leroymclucas #allenginsberg #jazz #whobekindto #poetry (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoTa14htnx/?igshid=le131afwjy4m
