about

Allen Ginsberg: Voice
Music and Production: Jack Dangers
Written by Allen Ginsberg and Jack Dangers
Published by May King Poetry Music, & Another Tweakland

With recent developments with the rigged supreme court how prescient Allen was in predicting the fall of democracy…maybe not in his lifetime but definitely in ours.
I wanted Allen to “sing the love of dangers” on Holy Ghost On The Nod Over The Body Of Bliss…a voice of precognition spanning the intervening years to where we are now....
the American experiment…the small blip has flatlined.
- Jack Dangers, August, 2022

lyrics

“HOLY GHOST ON THE NOD OVER THE BODY OF BLISS”

Is this the God of Gods, the one I heard about
in memorized language Universities murmur?
Dollar bills can buy it! the great substance
exchanges itself freely through all the world’s
poetry money, past and future currencies
issued & redeemed by the identical bank,
electric monopoly after monopoly owl-eyed
on every one of 90 billion dollarbills vibrating
to the pyramid-top in the United States of Heaven—
Aye aye Sir Owl Oh say can you see in the dark you
observe Minerva nerveless in Nirvana because
Zeus rides reindeer thru Bethlehem’s blue sky.
It’s Buddha sits in Mary’s belly waving Kuan
Yin’s white hand at the Yang-tze that Mao sees,
tongue of Kali licking Krishna’s soft blue lips.
Chango holds Shiva’s prick, Ouroboros eats th’cobalt bomb,
Parvati on YOD’s perfumèd knee cries Aum
& Santa Barbara rejoices in the alleyways of Brindaban
La illaha el (lill) Allah hu—Allah Akbar!
Goliath struck down by kidneystone, Golgothas grow old,
All these wonders are crowded in the Mind’s Eye
Superman & Batman race forward, Zarathustra on Coyote’s ass,
Lao-tze disappearing at the gate, God mocks God,
Job sits bewildered that Ramakrishna is Satan
and Bodhidharma forgot to bring Nothing.

December 1966
Planet News Poems: 1961-1967, City Lights, SF, 1968
