    Was Allen working for the railways in 1981?

    Jimmy H was supplying bootlet railway gear in exchange for poems. He has the largest collection of unpublished Ginsberg in the world, but he won't let anyone have access. Bit of a hoarder.

    How apt that those three mountebanks are fighting for space with garbage cans.

    (I do believe that the 3rd can from the left had a slim book of verse out at the time, called I think " The Waste Bin" )

    I saw Ginsberg and Orlovsky perform at the University Theatre in the late 60's.....a slow night.....everyone checking their watches.....hoping for a fire.

    My mistake.....it was the FOURTH can from the left.

    The one wearing his lid at a jaunty angle.
