Below is a poem that Allen Ginsberg typed and signed at noon on May 1st, 1970, then read from the stage at 4PM while I stood next to him. The original is in the Manuscripts and Photographs section of the Sterling Library. I tried to preserve the funky structure and typos. Jim Conroy

May King's Prophecy

Spring green buddings, white blossom-
ing trees, Mayday picnic
O Maypole Kings 0 Krishnaic Spring-
time
O holy Yale Panther Pacifist Conscious
populace awake alert sensitive tender
children's bodies--and a ring of
quiet Armies round the town--
planet students cooking brown rice
for scared multitudes--
Oh Souls all springtime prays your
bodies
quietly pass mantric peace Fest
grass freedom thru our nation
thru your holy voices'prayers
your bodies here so tender & so
wounded with Fear
Metal gas fear, the same fear
Whales tremble war conscious-
-ness
Smog City--Riot court paranoia-
-Judges, tremble, Armies weep
your fear--
O President guard thy sanity
Attourneys General & Courts obey
the Law
and end your violent War Assemblage
O Legislatures pass your Creeds of
order
& end by proper law illegal war!
Now man sits Acme Conscious over
his gas machine covered Planet-
Springtime's on, for all your sacred
& Satanic Magic!
Ponds gleam heaven, Black voices
chant their ecstasy on car radio
Oh who has heard the scream of death
in Jail?
Who has heard the quiet Om under
Wheel-whine and drumbeat
outside railyards on wire tower'd
outroads from New Haven?
