In the baggage room at Greyhound

This poem displays quite a different picture of Greyhound station from that of ours. Starting with the speaker recognizing such busy and vibrant bus station is yet ephemeral, the speaker looks around, the baggage room of Greyhound station in San Francisco 1956, and starts to perceive the surroundings little more carefully. The speaker catches the glimpse of cherubic spirit in Spade, the baggage boy, while wondering what would be in the baggages that he is carrying and where would those end up. Ending the last part of the poem with one baggage left alone under a dusty fluorescent light, the speaker well depicts intricately interconnected world by people and tireless spirit of people.

However with the narration of Ginsberg at the very last part of the poem along with depiction of human body parts at the third section of the poem, he again is making some ridicules of seemingly ordered and important, yet transient and chaotic world around him.
