#plutonian ode

[commonplaceblog-blog]

What new element before us unborn in nature? Is there a new thing under the sun? At last inquisitive Whitman a modern epic, detonative, scientific theme first penned unmindful by Doctor Seaborg with poisonous hand, named for Death's planet through the sea beyond Uranus whose cthonic ore fathers this magma-teared Lord of Hades, Sire of avenging Furies, billionaire Hell-King worshiped once with black sheep throats cut, priest's face averted from underground mysteries in a single temple at Eleusis, spring-green Persephone nuptialed to his inevitable Shade, Demeter mother of Asphodel weeping dew...

Allen Ginsberg, Plutonian Ode.

I’d like to play them both at the same time...

Take this wheel of syllables in hand, these vowels and consonants to breath's end

Take this inhalation of black poison to your heart, breath out this blessing from your breast on our creation

Plutonian Ode

[...]

Canker-Hex on multitudes learned or illiterate! Manu-  factured Spectre of human reason! O solidified  imago of practicioner in Black Arts 

I dare your reality, I challenge your very being! I  publish your cause and effect! 

I turn the wheel of Mind on your three hundred tons!  Your name enters mankind's ear! I embody your  ultimate powers! 

My oratory advances on your vaunted Mystery! This  breath dispels your braggart fears! I sing your  form at last 

behind your concrete & iron walls inside your fortress  of rubber & translucent silicon shields in filtered  cabinets and baths of lathe oil, 

My voice resounds through robot glove boxes & ignot  cans and echoes in electric vaults inert of atmo-  sphere, 

I enter with spirit out loud into your fuel rod drums  underground on soundless thrones and beds of  lead
