Charlie Parker….sitting like Buddha…a musician as important as Beethoven….though never recognized as such….

Kerouac reading on The Steve Allen Show…genius…piano played by the talk show impresario….And don’t you know God is Pooh Bear….
…reading works of literary magic….a magician….a shaman….a minch….a writer….
Long gone the day’s of poetry….the days of discourse……

There’s no longer a Ginsberg….a Kerouac…..and no…..nor a Heron…..The bottle took two of those…and bennies….and crack and goofballs…..and speedballs….

Only language left….beautiful language…

I’ll take that….
