jack’s hypothesis

Poem #161 for Joanne Ruocco

 

Jack Kerouac was correct,
understanding the gray sadness of America
the beautifully perfect cloud of living

It is the energy of the
individual and collective
that is a shroud over this land

It is all a result of a nation’s creation
a haunted inheritance
this weight, this ache, this sorrow

Karma or consequence
every one of us three hundred million
share the burdens of our historic gluttony

The pressure, the anxiety – we all feel it
the actual reality often held in contempt and disbelief
but he was correct…

all that sadness, all that time, all that America

af

(written with pen on paper)
