you learn to relax and wait for the answer.

Jack Kerouac
I came to a point where
I needed solitude and
just stop the machine
of thinking and enjoying
what they call living,
I just wanted to lie in
the grass and look at
the clouds.
Jack Kerouac
Short Fiction
Spotted Jack Kerouac and a few of
his beat friends, discussing how
life could be beautiful.
Thought I would and give a listen
to their back and forth ideas, and
believe me, it was all good. It seems
the flow of their words was all
encompassing, never shouting, smiles
all around.
When they are done, they will go their
separate ways, only to meet up again,
soon.
After all, a homeless man …..
After all, a homeless man has reason to cry, everything in the world is against him.
— Jack Kerouac
Aw I don’t wanta go ….
Aw I don’t wanta go to no such thing. I just wanta to drink in alleys.’…But you’ll miss all that, just for some old wine.’ There’s wisdom in wine, goddam it’ I yelled. ‘Have a shot! — Jack Kerouac
