or after class i should say bc i was talking to my professor abt my thesis and he ...... met allen ginsberg ? saw him speak and met him years later at a book signing in 95,, showed me the signed copy of his collected poems, the sunflower drawing he did
& yes im pmsing probably but god it rly hit me its so ! incredibly cool ! but also made me so incredibly sad to know that i would never meet him or see him or speak to him & that he will never sign another book and will never have another opinion on the state of the world & will never write another poem ! that that experience will b forever finished and inaccessible to me !
& how all these people whose lives and ideas and art have had such a profound influence on me & who are more alive and relevant to my life than so many people who are physically alive and here right now, are just gone ! feels like grief !
anyway if u could have a hangout w any people dead or alive who would they be and why
