Esau Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac was born on March 12, 1922 in Lowell, Massachusetts. March 12, 1922 - October 20, 1969 Bowery Blues ~J.Kerouac The story of man Makes me sick Inside, outside, I don't know why Something so conditional And all talk Should hurt me so. I am hurt I am scared I want to live I want to die I don't know Where to turn In the Void And when To cut Out For no Church told me No Guru holds me No advice Just stone Of New York And on the cafeteria We hear The saxophone O dead Ruby Died of Shot In Thirty Two, Sounding like old times And de bombed Empty decapitated Murder by the clock. And I see Shadows Dancing into Doom In love, holding TIght the lovely asses Of the little girls In love with sex Showing themselves In white undergarments At elevated windows Hoping for the Worst. I can't take it Anymore If I can't hold My little behind To me in my room Then it's goodbye Sangsara For me Besides Girls aren't as good As they look And Samadhi Is better Than you think When it starts in Hitting your head In with Buzz Of glittergold Heaven's Angels Wailing Saying We've been waiting for you Since Morning, Jack Why were you so long Dallying in the sooty room? This transcendental Brilliance Is the better part (of Nothingness I sing) Okay. Quit. Mad. Stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 nice quote: The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars today I party for Kerouac quote: "Be a crazy dumb saint of your own mind... Have no fear or shame in the dignity of your experience, language, and knowledge." he'd be 82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
