    I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving
    hysterical naked,
    dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry
    fix,
    angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the
    starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
    who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of
    cities contemplating jazz,
