From darning to damnation....If I read 'darn' I can see Kerouac through you finding humour in dark places. If damned is read as damnation, there is a somber, chilling realization that comes through the reading. An amazing poem, Richard.

M.J., Kerouac was obsessively concerned about the destination of his soul. Because he was a devout Roman Catholic, he believed in heaven, and purgatory. Although he was certain that Gerard was in heaven, he wasn't certain that he would immediately end up there.
