Fashions
Rise, fall, hover
For the haves, not the have nots
The greasers
Reject materialism.
The Road
Embraces liberation
A naked lunch
Explores rejection
Howling and cajoling
Committed
To a mind Coney Island.
The Memoir
Without should
Squeeze faster
Explicitly
Nothing X rated
No Vagabond Club
To cast a night shadow
Create a new world
The unconditional
Condition in found.
Them
Big Sur’s Henry Miller, Burroughs
E.E.Cummings, Ginsberg
Kerouac, Ferlinghetti
Peace lovers, no wars
Low-powered alternatives
Become pieces, On the Road
When God Created Women
With the Phenomenon of Man
And coffee houses sprang up
Near Black and Tan Clubs
Integrating-strip joints, races,
Transvestites, braking barriers...
There were no hiding places.
