Clean Asshole Poems

7 Smiling Vegetable Songs

by

Peter Orlovsky

Beat poet and occasional fuck buddy of Allen Ginsburg

In this copy, Peter has inscribed various receipts for sphincter hygiene. The inscription, written in red ink, is as follows:

"For Carl and Jean Racols:

in San Francisco Sept 19, 1979 Peter Orlovsky

Tea spoon of Bee Pollen a day chewed well has all 22 elements in the human body

Happy(?) wild apple juice to you cleans you out

Persimmons good for flora bacteria in your intestines Doc told me"

In addition, on the inside front cover picture of Peter and a bird, he drew a red heart shaped cartoon bubble coming from his mouth inside of which he wrote "How we love cold water year in and year out." Overall, a very unique, one of kind inscription.
