AI Interpretation
The speaker connects stars and footsteps with youth, Genet, family loss, Hindu identification, workers, Hollywood hills, a mosque, and a studio called a dream come true.
The spiritual and sexuality statements belong to the speaker's reflection. The manuscript does not verify personal history or doctrinal accuracy.
'It Was all Hindu' opens 'Explidid among the stars is first we are blinded', places youth 'in the alley with Genet; to be young, / to fight for your wit, to loss your family', and moves through 'The farmer, the logger the steel worker' to the Hollywood hills and 'a Studio / Fuller than fuller, / a dream come true'.
Spiritual, literary, and sexual identifications such as 'I was all about Hindu' and 'I could even try / to be gay' belong to the speaker's reflection and are not verified history. The margin StroNgEst and the placement of a Studio remain provisional.
