Journal Entry #3
Where did Jack Kerouac go?
Like the Merrimack River, or mountain air,
Kerouac flows–across America, across our minds
Impatient Buddha, paint-by-numbers Arizona sky
On flatbed trucks, cross-eyed stars, he finds
The road less traveled, where poets meet
Hungry and hot and drunkenly sweet
Heaven? This pen, this paper, a cup of Joe.
