"Howl" for Carl Solomon. 00:01:22.482 - 00:01:24.109
I saw the best minds of my generation 00:01:27.454 - 00:01:30.480
destroyed by madness, 00:01:30.623 - 00:01:32.750
starving hysterical naked, 00:01:33.193 - 00:01:36.754
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn 00:01:37.363 - 00:01:40.355
looking for an angry fix, 00:01:40.500 - 00:01:42.627
angel headed hipsters burning 00:01:43.870 - 00:01:45.770
for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo 00:01:45.905 - 00:01:49.136
in the machinery of night, 00:01:49.275 - 00:01:51.175

Sometimes I feel in command when I'm writing. 00:04:08.414 - 00:04:11.406
When I'm in the heat of some truthful tears, yes. 00:04:11.851 - 00:04:15.378
Other times... most of the time, not. 00:04:16.022 - 00:04:18.513
You know, just diddling around... 00:04:18.658 - 00:04:22.253
woodcarving, you know, finding a pretty shape, 00:04:22.395 - 00:04:24.955
like most of my poetry. 00:04:25.098 - 00:04:26.725
There's only been a few times when I've reached a state of... 00:04:28.701 - 00:04:32.797
complete control... 00:04:32.939 - 00:04:34.998
