Football Or Writing

Rating: 5.0


Caught that
Long bomb
But I
Screwed up?
Hall of fame?
School is out
For football
School's begun
For author

I am glad he took the writer's route. It seems that fame, whether in ball or words was difficult for him to accept. A 10.

School is out for football and children are thinking. Bomb if caught it frightens mind. This provokes thought. Writing is nice when written from peaceful mind. An amazing sharing is done here...10

A fascinating interpretation of the poem, Kumarmani! Ironically, the long bomb (football pass) , in some ways, had scared Kerouac. He seemed afraid of his football fame.
