I just discovered your podcast on Spotify and enjoy your format and discussions.
This poem tells me that there is an "ignorance is bliss" factor that I think Ferlinghetti is using to show us what makes us human. There's also a juxtaposition between "a beautiful place" and other, less desirable situations. It creates a balance in beauty.
Wonderful poem and a truthful one , one of faith I think , that in spite of , an in contrast to , this gift is indeed worth celebrating. Happy new year 🕊
