On the Salutations of Ginsberg To Pessoa and Pessoa's Alvaro To Whitman

Every time  I read Pessoa I think
I'm better than he is
Salutations to Fernando Pessoa-Alan Ginsberg
 
 Me, the monocled one, with my foppish belted waistcoat,

Ruth Bader Ginsberg

Cautious adjudication, the gravitas of soft-spoken word.
Your legendary legacy, illustrious and exalted.
Advocate for gender justice, legal insights not always heard.
Yet, your jurisprudence was seldom persuasively faulted.

Few men invite state regulation of their sex organs.
Yet, many insist the state can control a woman’s body.
You, the bulwark against unconstitutional legal actions,
against state laws of men, pious and

 FALLEN GINSBERG COINS “” INTO POETRY,
Our college creative-writing professor
Announced in 1972,  to our class of hippie poets, 
Like me, who didn’t quite see
The big deal, because we were establishing 
That outrage into every sentence of all
Conversations spoken across the world; 
That (I hadn’t even known)  it was banned

Ginsberg Is Gone

The fantastic 
writings 
          of Allan 
remain 
   but he is gone
do you remember 
    seeing him?
He traveled the 
  world in search 
of the perfect 
   poem
The waters of the East River

Allen Ginsberg

Allen Ginsberg
Where have you gone?
We need you in this world right now
We are frightened and alone

You were a shining light through the darkness
Through the '50's you held strong
Even though society said 
Everything about you was wrong

You were a beacon of freedom
Let your words always ring true
You will always be a hero of mine
May God always
