A Supermarket in California - Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More: "Supermarket in California
by Allen Ginsberg
Get Flash Player

What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked
down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking
at the full moon.
In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images, I went into the neon
fruit supermarket, dreaming of your enumerations!
What peaches and what penumbras! Whole families shopping at
night! Aisles full of husbands! Wives in the avocados, babies in the tomatoes!
--and you, García Lorca, what were you doing down by the watermelons?

I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking
among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys.
I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops?
What price bananas? Are you my Angel?
I wandered in and out of the brilliant stacks of cans following you,
and followed in my imagination by the store detective.
We strode down the open corridors together in our solitary fancy
tasting artichokes, possessing every frozen delicacy, and never passing the
cashier.

Where are we going, Walt Whitman? The doors close in a hour.
Which way does your beard point tonight?
(I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and
feel absurd.)
Will we walk all night through solitary streets? The trees add shade
to shade, lights out in the houses, we'll both be lonely.
Will we stroll dreaming of the lost America of love past blue automo-
biles in driveways, home to our silent cottage?
Ah, dear father, graybeard, lonely old courage-teacher, what America
did you have when Charon quit poling his ferry and you got out on a
smoking bank and stood watching the boat disappear on the black waters of
Lethe?

--Berkeley, 1955

Blog do Zé - Zé Dirceu - Um Espaço para a Discussão do Brasil: "ão dá para aceitar calado
Publicado em 27-Fev-2010
A desfaçatez com que nossa imprensa abre espaços ... A desfaçatez com que nossa imprensa abre espaços para funcionários do Departamento de Estado Americano criticar o Brasil e sua política externa e nuclear, não tem limites e beira o servilismo colonial. Como podem os Estados Unidos, que tem a pena de morte instituída, falar em direitos humanos? Um país que financia ditaduras e onde um ex-vice-presidente da República admite publicamente que autorizou a tortura como meio de se obter informações de supostos terroristas, que manteve as prisões de Guantánamo e de Abu Ghraib, verdadeiros campos de concentração e tortura, falar sobre nossa política nuclear e nossas relações com o Irã?

Que autoridade tem os Estados Unidos, que promove uma corrida armamentista e testa novas armas, violando o Tratado de Não Proliferação Nuclear, exigir do Brasil um protocolo adicional para fazer inspeções sem aviso prévio, quando nosso país tem na Constituição a proibição de uso da pesquisa nuclear para fins militares? Na verdade, o objetivo é impedir que nosso país e outros tenham acesso ao ciclo completo de enriquecimento de urânio -- e dependam de grandes potências nucleares -- e ao mesmo tempo, às grandes reservas de minério de urânio.
Fora o fato de que os Estados Unidos permitiram que Israel, Paquistão e Índia, com este país firmou acordos de apoio para o desenvolvimento nuclear, tenham não só pesquisa, enriquecimento de urânio, mas bombas atômicas. Não dá para aceitar calado."
