homework-Ginsberg

In this poem by Allen Ginsberg he is telling how he would ride the earth of dirt in comparison to do his laundry. In the beginning he says "id throw in my united states; this tells me that he is from the U.S this could be important because he is talking about many Nations in the poem so knowing where he is from could be important. He talks about cleaning the earth of dirt,sludge, and physical material. he describes how he wants to clean gunk of the sea floors and "rinse down the acid rain from over the Parthenon and the Sphinx these are examples of cleaning dirt of his laundry but the bigger stains come form more dangerous things then dust on a pipeline. He talks about Asia "id throw big Asia in one giant load and wash out all the blood and agent orange" he might be talking about all the violence and how they used agent orange against there people killing many. I definitely like this people because i can relate, i would like to do what Ginsberg is doing in this poem. Even though all this is impossible i think that's what makes it fun to think about.
