We know that:

1) Ginsberg was a homosexual,
2) Ginsberg was a member of NAMBLA,
3) Ginsberg wrote about how he found adolescent boys attractive,
4) Ginsberg had several sexual partners who were in their teens.

From this one can conclude that:

1) any Ginsberg poem that *can* be interpreted along pedophilic lines, *should* be interpreted along pedophilic lines;
2) and as "Please Master" can easily be interpreted along pedophilic lines,
3) it *should* be interpreted along pedophilic lines.

No, says several legitimate sources, which day that "Please Master" was written by Allen Ginsberg for Neal Cassady, a grown man.

No, multiple sources have stated that "Please Master"was written by Allen Ginsberg for Neal Cassady, who was about the same age as Ginsberg.

For example.............
Detailing the homosexual relationship between himself and on-off lover Neal Cassady, Please Master could be described as a juxtaposition of explicit sexuality and innocent adoration. Free-verse in form, it was written following Cassady’s death in 1964. Their affair spanned a period of at least 20 years and was considered the driving force behind much of Ginsberg’s most sexually charged works. It has been suggested that Ginsberg eventually realised that Cassady would never love him the way that he needed to be loved. Their relationship has been described as sexually and emotionally ā€˜abusive’ by Ginsberg, and by others that knew them, and there is strong indication of this in Please Master. First, the fact that Ginsberg refers to his lover as ā€˜master’ throughout the poem immediately indicates that he is submissive to a more dominant figure *************************************

"Neal Cassady often took on a larger than life persona in much of the Beat literature. ā€˜Please Master’ is one of the most graphically written works by Ginsberg about his relationship with Neal Cassady. Ginsberg portrays sadomasochistic sexuality precisely as a symbolic relationship, with language, too, that is ironic in its erotic affirmation of the master’s dominance and slave’s submission. In ā€˜Please Master’ Cassady seems self-evidently the controlling master having his way with a submissive Ginsberg. However a closer reading of the poem dramatizes sexual activity that, of course, would not occur without the person in the slave subject position initiating intercourse..."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For those who missed this the first time, such as Michael Pendragon.

Pendragon misses a lot since he's constantly looking to the distant past for poetry.

Hip Hop brought back both rhyme and popularity to poetry.

Yes, it's generally agreed by most Allen Ginsberg readers that the poem was written for a grown man, Neal Cassady.

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_(culture)

> ************* Hip hop or hip-hop is a culture and art movement that was created by African Americans, Latino Americans and Caribbean Americans in the Bronx, New York City. The origin of the name is often disputed. It is also argued as to whether hip hop started in the South or West Bronx.[1][2][3][4][5] While the term hip hop is often used to refer exclusively to hip hop music (including rap),[6] hip hop is characterized by four key elements: "rapping" (also called MCing or emceeing), a rhythmic vocal rhyming style (orality); DJing (and turntablism), which is the practice of making music with record players and DJ mixers (aural/sound and music creation); b-boying/b-girling/breakdancing (movement/dance); and graffiti.[7][2][8][9][10]

> Other elements are: hip hop culture and historical knowledge of the movement (intellectual/philosophical); beatboxing, a percussive vocal style; street entrepreneurship; hip hop language; and hip hop fashion and style, among others.[11][12][13] The fifth element, although debated, is commonly considered either street knowledge, hip hop fashion, or beatboxing.[2][7]
