I met
Einstein in a
dream
Springtime on
Princeton lawn grass
I kneeled down & kissed his young thumb
like a ruddy
pope
his face fresh broad checked rosy
"I invented a
universe separate,
something like a
Virgin," --
"Yes, the
creature gives birth to itself,"
I quoted from
Mescaline
We sat down open air universal
summer
to eat
lunch, professor's wives
at the Tennis Court Club,
our meeting eternal, as expected,
my gesture to kiss his fist
unexpectedly saintly
considering the
Atom Bomb I didn't mention.
Allen Ginsberg
