Reading the Beat Generation jazz poem "DOG" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. This poem can be found in the book A Coney Island of the Mind. To adjust the book copy to match Lawrence's famous 1958 San Francisco Poets LP reading (which is the way I've read it here), there are at least two big changes that need to be made: 1. start the poem "There's a dog that walks around/ this part a town /and he trots freely in the street" 2. there's a missing section that goes after "fire hydrant to him" and before the next "the dog walks freely," which goes "And he will howl when he feels like howling/ He will not be impounded by customs collectors/ who call themselves literary critics."
