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.

This poem is funny, sad, insightful, revelatory, and heartbreaking: you can't simplify or quantify good ole' Gregory.
Such a good poem, Gregory really brings it to life.
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 ...
He lived at the Hotel Chelsea. For awhile.
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.
Corso: "Life's a drag, then you die."
That dark cave beneath the falls, that's " marriage "...
very nice
I always found this poem less funny and more anxious for some reason. I guess different interpretations make sense.

does anyone know when exactly did this reading take place? and where? and all that stuff.
reminds me of Ginsberg's Kaddish or America
His voice and delivery remind me of Lenny Bruce.
Where'd you find this recording? I need it!
He passes ...legit
montruo maestro
Why are people laughing I think this poem is really sad
it is a funny poem at times, the humor really adds to the sadness however.
Interesting.

I think Corso intended for them to laugh.
