Feeling sentimental
For that cool swimming pool
For that swell fishing pond
For the best of damn friends
Feeling incremental
About Ney York City
About the damn dope fiends
Stuff that ain't so pretty
Miss the country fresh air
Sunrise clearing my head
Hanging around my friends
True friends living simply
Miss suffocating smog
Spoiled brats holes in head
Theater of the absurd
And goddamn mistresses
One who is used to the quiet town and the simple life will definitely resent the jostling crowd of faceless people in a city and their meaningless hullabaloo! Great write!

Excellent writing Richard Thank you for sharing Mario Odekerken

The poem seems to suggest that although a small town has caring people, Kerouac also liked the vitality big city; Miss suffocating smog Spoiled brats holes in head Theater of the absurd And mistresses
Carl, an excellent observation on your part! Those lines were intended to be facetious, but also, pretty close to the real truth. Quite a task! You've made my day by inferring that I've pulled it off. Thank you!
