simon pettet + jack kerouac + michael lally ...
jack kerouac spoke to me tonight ...
saying more than before
in a 'flat-footed', non histrionic way -
as etta jones would say,
to me and thirty other people
at the open center on spring street, nyc ...
remarkable, insightful, enlightening ...
lally and pettet - notable poets in their own right,
'dialed into' kerouac's spirit
of casual articulation, rapid fire entente,
and voices of experience -
things these guys know ...
the newly published 'scroll' edition
of 'on the road' is now out there -
a remembrance of things past,
too bad only thirty of us were ever there ...
jack is back,
gotta go ...
