Chicagoetry: Allen Ginsberg Festival of Life

By J.J. Tindall

ALLEN GINSBERG FESTIVAL OF LIFE

Just east of Balbo
and Michigan,

Uncle Allen began
his Buddhist

chant. The Festival
of Life

took over
Grant

Park one
weekend the

summer of
'68. Buddha

is at every protest
rally, of

course. Buddha
knows batons

and bullets.
Buddah

feels, he kneels,
he braces . . .
