I will write until I'm dead
And then...beyond the damn grave!
Brilliant, Richard. Your words suggest another way of identifying the 'hooves of suffocating mediocrity.' I think I have Kerouac's quote right. Brilliant verse, Richard. Let nothing suffocate, not even 'the grave.'
M.J., I sincerely feel his spirit when I'm writing The Kerouac Project. I feel it the most when I'm writing about his brother Gerard and daughter Jan. BTW, Jan was born exactly 1 week earlier than I was born. Talk about synchronicity!

Thst's what happens, when poetry is your life, it does not die because your body does. it lives on into eternity like the soul of a white Dove.
Beautifully expressed, poetess friend! Very moved by your response!
