What thoughts I have of you tonight‚ Allen Ginsberg. The famous Beat writer haunts my own supermarket as Whitman does his.

Woody Allen is 80. Time is finite and he knows it. Every day the industrious same: wake‚ work‚ weights‚ treadmill‚ work‚ clarinet‚ work‚ supper‚ TV‚ sleep. Except today and tomorrow and Thursday‚ when he’ll do something futile. “I never thought there was any point doing press‚” he says. “I don’t think anybody ever reads an interview and says: ‘Hey‚ I want to see that movie!’” He smiles benignly‚ tip-to-toe in peanut-butter beige.
