Owed To Burroughs Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Owed To Burroughs
Loved her more than
Any other
'cause she reached out
And touched my soul
But you son of a bitch
So screwed me married her
And you're a damn homo?
O, what tangled webs these mortals weave. That's the spirit Puck in MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. Not being human, he cannot comprehend how (and why) we let our emotions rule our lives. But Kerouac is the one who takes this propensity for extreme emotional behavior to the nth degree. And thereby stretches the possibilities of being human. The consequences include both sweetness and suffering. That's why we call it PASSION. This is an amazing biographical detail! ! It reveals so much to me.

Hello Richard, after reading your Kerouac Poem series to date, I will have to get a biography/autobiography of the man. Have a great day writing.
Carl, there are some excellent ones out there!
