I feel the sense of desperation in these 4 lines, I think I have lived this poem. There's a quote I saw by Ibsen, 'The strongest men are the most alone.' There is a freedom in that

Kevin, I too think that I have lived this poem. Especially, when I was in high school! Ibsen was right! History has proved it all along!

I've tried to capture Kerouac's complete loneliness. Judging by your response, Susan, it seems that I've succeeded. Thank you for reading and for your positive response.
