Minor - Disconnected

The assignment for the Minor is to create a music video for one of the tracks of the recitement CD. I will work in a group of three students, and we've chosen the track Disconnected performed by Allen Ginsberg.

Disconnected - Allen Ginsberg

I am a victim of telephones

When I lay down to sleep dream the
Wishing Well
it rings
“Have you a new play for the brokendown theater?”
When I write in my notebook poem
it rings
“Buster Keaton is under the brooklyn bridge on Frankfurt and Pearl . . .”
When I unsheath my skin extend my
cock
toward
someone’s thighs fat or thin, boy or girl
Tingaling—”Please get him out of jail . . . the police are crashing down”
When I lift the soupspoon to my lips,

the phone on the
foor begins purring
when I muse at smoke crawling over the roof
outside my street window
purifying
Eternity with my eye
observation of grey vaporous columns in the sky
ring ring
“Hello, this is Esquire…

When I lift the soupspoon to my lips,
the phone on the
foor begins purring
“Hello it’s me—I’m in the park two broads from Iowa . . .
nowhere to sleep last night . . .
hit
‘em in the mouth”
ringing at dawn ringing all afternoon
ringing up
midnight
ringing now forever ringing
now forever
ringing now forever
ringing now forever
ringing now
forever.


This is the first idea...
