for peter orlovsky in the sky

[mikebauer]

yes, it really is. it's got a more classical rigor to the lines and it's weaker than peter's work, just because of that -- peter hadn't been writing long at all -- i think his second poem is the one i like the best. but, how he pops off these un-worded-transition, out of the head, bursts of feeling is very touching.

Ah, it's my misinterpretation then You're right though, it not being about aping; you just adopted a different lens/perspective. But its still your voice that I'm hearing which makes it different.
