the other night--
when all the people
had fallen away
slunk back into their holes
they had been busy digging during the day
i was walking around
looking for a hole
i left long ago

finally i just gave up
instead of being underground
covered by the filth
and blocked by the denseness of the earth
i decided to breathe clean air
true air
and the stuff i noticed

i saw for the first time
the world
as it was
i saw the olive gardens and moist branches
and i was happy

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac
