Allen Ginsberg, Say You, Say You If Were A Yogi Or Not, If A Bhogi And This Too Not? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Allen Ginsberg, Say You, Say You If Were A Yogi Or Not, If A Bhogi And This Too Not?



Allen Ginsberg, who, who were you,
Who, who were you,
A yogi
Or not,
A bhogi
Or this too is not,
Who, who were you
A poet or a patient,
An addict or a romantic,
Who, who were you,
A yogi or a bhogi,
A bhogi or a yogi,
Allen, Allen Ginsberg?

Is your poetry of the mental asylum,
Of a drug-addict
Recuperating in a drug rehabilitation center,
Is your poetry of the correctional home,
A mad man's babbling and howl,
The howl,
The howl of a wayward, pathless generation
Divided in aims,
Passing through angst and bewilderment, anxiety and loss,
Going through trauma and catharsis?
