The poem itself is about love. It goes something like: "set an infinity parallel course for our love, coming close but it'll never meet"-- and the poem ends something like: "our love is the (dangerous?) (lasting?) kind."

I thought is was by Gregory Corso, but I can't find anything on the Googles... help me out!

Cheers, mate.

Check out Wilderness if you haven't already --- a collection of his poems. I remember the day I realized it was Jim's voice in this song and it blew my mind:

I have The Lords & The New Creatures at home which is very well read, to me that sounds like a piece from An American Prayer.

Bill Hicks & Jim Morrison are the only people I would dare to take a thesis on.
 
^You think Jim fucking Morrison is a better writer than Allen Ginsberg!!!?
Morrison is a sloppy embarrassment. A bumbling drunk.
Ginsberg led a cultural revolution. Morrison got fat and died. No comparison; Ginsberg was a poet.

I don't know the answer to the OP's question though, sorry dude.

Ginsberg was a joke, always was & will stay that way. Only decent person to do anything worth while out of that scene was Burroughs.
Sadly we all die so your point saying " Morrison got fat and died" is kinda stupid. If you actually look at the Paris photo's he lost alot of weight & wasn't "fat" & after the trip to Morocco actually fixed up quite alot.
Strong evidence to show it was white heroin that caused his death, your lack of knowledge on the subject you speak is shocking, nice try though ;)

Typical American with the reply of "dude"
Sadly Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure went out in 1989, what next I wonder?........
Going to call me a douchebag I bet.
 
You don't seem like a reader. More a passive viewer.
Requires less concentration; it's ok (dude) - not everyone has literate tastes.
I won't hold that against you.
Gerard Malanga wannabes are great and all, but I'd rather go to the source than be entertained by imitators.
 
Well, if we can't figure out the title of the poem, at least this thread aided some trolling and hate-mongering... success!
 
What book did you read it in? You must be misquoting it somewhere along the line. A word might've morphed into a conceptual doppleganger, and there's no telling which it was.

How certain are you that your fragment is sound?

I can't say, for certain, but I am absolutely sure that the theme was: infinity, parallel lines that never touch, and it was done by a Beat or somebody associated with them.
