I just read this poem by Philip Whalen - center above between Ginsberg and Burroughs and wanted to share it. Whalen was Warren Coughlin in
The Dharma Bums).
Further Notice
by Philip Whalen
I can't live in this world
And I refuse to kill myself
Or let you kill me
The dill plant lives, the airplane
My alarm clock, this ink
I won't go away
I shall be myself—
Free, a genius, an embarrassment
Like the Indian, the buffalo
Like Yellowstone National Park.
