Can't stop here..it's bat country(1960's)
The following quote is from HST’s masterpiece “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”-it is in reference to the nineteen sixty’s counterculture movement, it was written in the early seventies while the failed revolution was still fresh in the mind of the masses; back when the book was first published the reaction would be much more poignant, but for those who were alive during or...
TWENTY-NINE
Grandmother got lost for hours and I called the cops. Waited at her house with cigarettes and fast food.She came home and was shopping at the mall. Curb-side break down of sorts and now I’ve got grass stains on my knees—will wash later.— Stood outside waiting for the cab for over two hours, it never came called them 3 to 4 times. Kristen and I fight over my cowardice and I...

Excerpt from Tristessa-Jack Kerouac-analysis
Bull gets up and helps her clean things- To me he says, “Them artists and writers, they don’t like to work—Don’t believe in work (as the year before, as Tristessa amd Cruz and I chatted gagly with the gaiety I had last year, in the room, he’s banging with a Mayan stone statue about the size of a big fist trying to fix the door he’d broken down the night before...

Why is God Love, Jack? (Poetry
Why is God Love, Jack? They said you went into the hospital and never came back from the white hallways and sterile rooms of St. Anthony’s hospital almost forty years gone now. Jack, why is God love? you never came back. Jack, why is God love? The machinery pumped life into your body then failing from drink and loneliness Jack, Why is God love? Your stomach bled from within your belly...
Brian's Song-Irony (poetry)
We use to watch television together you sat in your chair close to it, blurry-eyed viewing of the news and drool pooled beneath your chin in shame of detiorating body—No shame in my eyes for you no shame in my heart of you. We use to watch television together and I was always proud of you.

Being a flower(poetry)
Too damn self-conscience to be zen—I’ve spent too many nights awake staring at the ceiling naked cursing the belly-fat and hair positioned on my torso and too many late night conversations with myself to attempt to love a flower for being a flower and not for it’s looks or its smell but for being a flower. I’m too damn self-conscience to be zen—I can never love a ...
