"Stare deep into the world before you as if it were the void: innumerable holy ghosts, buddhies, and savior gods there hide, smiling."

~Jack Kerouac
Scripture of the Golden Eternity

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...

Wheee....

But really, sounds like 'too much too soon" ... no foreplay.

Still I understand the impulse - people who have the chutzpah to grab life by the throat and make it say uncle.

Still I understand the impulse - people who have the chutzpah to grab life by the throat and make it say uncle.

But then they danced down the streets like dingledodies, and I shambled
after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because
the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn,
burn like the fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders
across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop
and everybody goes "Awww!"
