monk in orbit
for allen ginsberg
they say one night
in the early sixties
after tim leary
turned him on to LSD
allen ginsberg went up
to monk's place in the west 60's
to introduce the great master
to the wonders of modern chemistry
& left monk with a dose
of the excellent product
of the sandoz labritories
all the way from switzerland--
& when he went back
to check up on thelonious
monk opened the door
as far as the chain would allow,
peered out at ginsberg,
& asked with a slight frown:
man, have you got any
more of this stuff? so far
it don't seem to be makin' too
much of a difference to me....
