When I was about 12 or 14 yrs old (very early 70's) I had two big posters on my bedroom wall of Ferlinghetti poems. One was about Jesus and one was about nuclear bombs. Those posters made me feel very grown up and intellectual.

One was about Jesus
'Christ Climbed Down?' That poem blew my tiny fucking mind in high school and led me to a serious love affair with LF's work. He's the Beat around which all others orbit for me.

Actually, mintcake, the poem was "Sometime During Eternity" but thanks for pointing me toward "Christ Climbed Down." Great piece!
