Stolen Life
My stolen life
Lost in despair
Hearts still cry out now
Even though I'm gone

Very nice, Richard. did you know that when Kerouac died, his estate was valued at only 91 dollars? I saw that on Jeopardy the other day.
2) Belle, when I was in Florida in February, I sat on the front porch of his home. Took a photo of one of his books that turned out quite mysteriously; will get it framed...for more inspiration!
Thank you, Belle! Even with all the research and writing I've done on Kerouac, I didn't know this. Gotta start watching Jeopardy again!
