Richard, this really reminds me of a great book....I can't recall the exact title. I think Kerouac's Ghost. It is amazing how influential Kerouac was. Indeed his ghost does haunt writers. And the legacy is an interesting one. I've always wondered why so many people influenced by Kerouac deal with the theme of guilt. A great poem, Richard.
Especially Catholics! Being Catholic myself, the nuns made us feel guilty about almost every single thing. M.J., in this poem, Jack is being haunted by his brother Gerard (in a good way) .
