Agog

Highly excited; intensely curious (adj.)

When Allen Ginsberg published "Howl" and started reading parts of it in public places, people were flitting all over the place to buy it and read it and they started asking each other what it meant and when they did this a particular kind of saliva gathered in abstract places on their lower lips as they discussed their interpretations, feeling vain but justified in their serious poetric engagement with the universe as they dragged on their poorly rolled joints and they found themselves screaming the many passages of poem--the louder they yelled it the clearer, it seemed, its truth became.
