Bus East Poem by Jack Kerouac
Bus East
Society has good intentions Bureaucracy is like a friend
5 years ago - other furies other losses -
America's
trying to control the uncontrollable Forest fires, Vice
The essential smile In the essential sleep Of the children Of the essential mind
I'm
all thru playing the American
Now I'm going to live a good quiet life
The
world should be built for foot walkers
Oily
rivers Of spiney Nevady
I
am Jake Cake
Rake
Write like Blake
The
horse is not pleased Sight of his
gorgeous finery
in the dust Its silken
nostrils
did disgust
Cats
arent kind Kiddies anent sweet
April
in Nevada - Investigating Dismal Cheyenne Where the war parties
In fields
of straw
Aimed over oxen At Indian Chiefs
In wild headdress Pouring thru
the gap
In Wyoming plain
To make the settlers
Eat more dust than dust
was eaten In the States From East at Seacoast Where wagons made up To dreadful
Plains
Of clazer vup
Saltry
settlers
Anxious to masturbate The Mongol Sea (I'm too tired in Cheyenne -
No sleep in 4 nights now, & 2 to go)
His poems speaks straight to you, as the reader. To his family: CONGRATS with his poem BUS EAST as The Poem Of The DAY. I am so sorry for him after having read his entire biography notes here. He is a handsome looking poet. Saddest that he died at the age of 47. A TEN for all his emotions in this amazing poem. May he rest in Peace. Sincerely, Sylvia Frances Chan, Dutch poetess.
Most poets become famous in a short time afther their death. I wished they were famous during their life, but that does never occur. It is tragic for poets to be famous after they died. They do not know that anymore and they do not experience that anymore. However Jack Kerouac IS a good poet, writer and observer
