Not quite the way I'd imagined how the poet would read it: hearing this helps. I might have laughed in a few places too if the poem had been new to me: note that the further Corso goes, the less laughter despite some inherently funny lines; by that point, everyone understands.

Such a good poem, Gregory really brings it to life.
This poem is funny, sad, insightful, revelatory, and heartbreaking: you can't simplify or quantify good ole' Gregory.
Thank you for posting one of my favorite poems. This poem was part of ceremony I wrote for my first wedding.
Corso is gold.

The audience is laughing because the poem is funny.
They are the best audiece for this poem.
This is a good comment
So good ...
Half beat- half Lenny Bruce. His genius.
Google "The Dial-A-Poem Poets: Disconnected" It was a vinyl album released in 1974 but you can find all the recording from it on the web.
He lived at the Hotel Chelsea. For awhile.
Corso: "Life's a drag, then you die."
That dark cave beneath the falls, that's " marriage "...
very nice

does anyone know when exactly did this reading take place? and where? and all that stuff.
I always found this poem less funny and more anxious for some reason. I guess different interpretations make sense.
His voice and delivery remind me of Lenny Bruce.
reminds me of Ginsberg's Kaddish or America
Where'd you find this recording? I need it!
montruo maestro
He passes ...legit
Interesting.
I agree about the laughing...eejits...!

Good reading except for the piped style idiotic laughter...spoils it..(((( big time.
I think Corso intended for them to laugh.
