One of my alltime favorite poems! @dupsacque I think it is in the Howl collection. "I have mystical visions and cosmic vibrations" :)
-
is this poem from a particular collection? if so, which one?
-
@TheThoughtCop Its cool I got it off limewire a while back :), I would also like to add that more than likely Tom Waits and Allen Ginsberg didn't mind it either. Your a cool guy by the way :)

@jhump2431 I will tell you if you rephrase your question so that it does not end in a preposition.

@SanVisClips did you ever find the info on "Closing Time"? It is the title track to one of his earlier albums. Incidentally, the entire album is filled with just this sort of emotionally saturated melancholy - stories of "love lost" and "love found" and "loves lost and found". You may be doing your ears a favor by searching out Toms earlier music. You'll find it as different from his later music as Dylans early acoustic music and his later work with an electric guitar. Both eras are great

I don't understand the meaning/purpose/message of the juxtaposition of Tom's soft and sensitive "Closing Time" with Ginsburg's angry poem of the America he knew. Don't get me wrong...I dig the poem and I dig most of Ginsberg's art - his poetry and prose but he was (and quite rightfully) an angry man. I'm not sure Tom Waits' work is occupies the same universe.
