~beatitude~ (written 05/09)


I want to be a Beat
go back in time and run the streets
with Allen and Neal
take bennies with Joan and talk all night with Bill
listen to jazz and sleep with Jack
because what's better than conferring about the Dharma
naked with the elusive Mr. Kerouac
we would take the bus out west
then months later hitch back east
the destination would never be as important as the journey
so frivolous until there is no more money
I would write, discuss, and write some more
conversations would never be a bore
there would be so many great minds to meet
if I could only reset clocks
and be a Beat
