Ginsberg tells with excitement about the husbands, wives and babies who are shopping together as families. In opposition to the families, Ginsberg introduces Lorca, another deceased homosexual poet (Ginsberg 1290). Through the juxtaposition of the happy families against Lorca, who is standing alone by himself, the poet emphasizes the isolation which homosexuals experienced during the 1960s and prior (Newman). The poet attempts to highlight the views of a different sexual orientation by using two homosexual poets in his poem. Ginsberg refers to Whitman as “childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys” (Ginsberg 1290).

This is very difficult for Huck because he would rather be out playing hooky from school, smoking tobacco, and fishing. Once one of the old ladies, Miss Watson, tries to teach Huck how to pray, but when he tried praying for fishing gear, he only “got a fish-line, but no hooks” (Twain 168).
