@erosamuk

Of course, Ginsberg was a friend and supporter of Trungpa's and Patti Smith, who I assume is your third Jew, isn't.

I'm not your sweetheart. It sounded like you were making an anti-Semitic joke, which failed, as they always do.

And the Three Kings, if they existed, would have been Zoroastrian, not Jews.

Thank you for posting Patti Smith's reading of this lovely poem. The "antepast rhyme" you are referring to is "I noticed the houses, balconies overlooking a misted horizon, shore & old worn rocks in the sand . . ." The entire poem can be found in Cosmopolitan Greetings: Poems 1986-1992 by Allen Ginsberg.

Allen Ginsberg was the greatest poet laureate of all time. His words are those of a generation.
