OH, AMERICA
Oh America
what happened to
your Jack Kerouac?
Did you de-Walt Whitman him
lock him up in Area 51
as a
fell-to-Earth-alien
need to be
needle sharp here, in
Spiders from Mars territory
and this
dust
this TS Eliot Wasteland dust
is all that remains
of the Beat Generation
or so
I must assume
since last time I saw Ginsberg
and Corso
they were both hardly there
in their dotage,
on pension
whilst Burroughs was doing
Bowie cut ups with
his supermarket receipts
supermarket in California
take a wormhole
to Florida
backwards glancing seems
less than
blinding
was this era yet dope?
