'America: A Satire Against Allen Ginsberg' by Pietros Maneos. This particular poem is excerpted from my 130 page Satirical Poem titled 'American Bards & The London Reviewer.'
In this poem, I satirize Ginsberg as well as the aesthetic, or rather, anti-aesthetic tendencies of his modern descendants; the inspiration for the poem is Harold Bloom's introductory essay to the 'The Best of The Best of American Poetry 1988-1997'

I don't think I've accepted your offer to giggle about the Ginsburg satire, because much of it awed me as being right on point and thus strangely true to Ginsburg's own stream of consciousness when I've heard him read his work live, and how conversational he tried to be while each time keeping his distance as a Platonic figure looking down on the world, but nonetheless flattering us that he deigned to do so in our presence, making us complicit in his empyrean incantations.
