Organizimi imagjinar u bënte të mundur njerëzve për t’u bashkuar duke krijuar një tip relativisht të qëndrueshëm të kulturës.

What thoughts I have of you tonight‚ Allen Ginsberg. The famous Beat writer haunts my own supermarket as Whitman does his. It is difficult to read Howl and Other Poems without succumbing to the vein of defeat running throughout its pages.

Throughout his poems Ginsberg references again and again the ideas of hunger‚ starvation‚ fruits‚ vegetables
