China Town in Color

America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956.
I can't stand my own mind.
America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb. . . .
America when will you be angelic?


When will you take off your clothes? . . .
America why are your libraries full of tears?
America when will you send your eggs to India?

I'm sick of your insane demands.

When can I go into the supermarket and buy what I need with my good looks? . . . "

— Allen Ginzberg, America, 1956(entire_poem)
