By J.J. Tindall
Allen Ginsberg Festival of Life
Just east of Balbo
and Michigan,
Uncle Allen began
his Buddhist
chant. The Festival
of Life
took over
Grant
Park one
weekend the
summer of
’68. Buddha
is at every protest
rally, of
course. Buddha
knows batons
and bullets.
Buddha
feels, he kneels,
he braces . . .
