Kerouac's Great Escape Comments

Wonderful poem, Richard. And yes, both ultimately could not make that one final great escape. I am always amazed at how much Kerouac and Houdini did have in common. In both case, a remarkable career devoted to escape...literal in one sense, and metaphorical (of social constraints) in the other. And there was that fist at the end...perhaps that metaphorical punch of alcohol. Brilliant verse, Richard.
