Marriage by Gregory Corso (part 1)

Most likely you have never come across the poets from the beat generation who loved Jack K. and his stream of consciousness prose. Ginsberg howled for the best minds of his generation and Moriarty abandoned cars at the cross roads as often as he abandoned women in cheap hotel rooms and Lawrence Ferlinghetti stole Gregory Corso's penguin dust.

To make sense of it all you an listen the Ian Dury of the blockheads reading the poem

Richard Feynman was a bongo playing astrophysisist who fell in love with Tannu Tuvan. The people from Tuvan have their own unique style of singing called throat music

Here is a sample

i always enjoy a nice dip in a stream of consciousness.

Be careful not to get swept away by the current, dragged under by a torrent of words in a whirlpool, soaked to the skin by a cascade of alliteration and onomatopoeia, and if you do get into deep water, do it naked since clothes are always a hindrance in the steam of consciousness.

Phenomenal !!! Also we all like cups of tea

Well I thought that it could have been improved considerably if I could have had a bongo playing astrophysisist like Richard Feynman for some percussive effects.

Being astute you will no doubt have noticed that the poem makes mention Tannu-Tuvan postage stamps... Feynman even though only an infinitesimal part of the general population could understand his mathematical physics captured the world attention by playing the bongos and inventing the atom bomb.

Tuvan throat music was also missing

Yeah but you are from the woods and do big bonfires.

It is not every bodies cup of tea or mead for that matter
