what about Kerouac's....

Mexico City Blues?

i guess i would catergorize it as improvised poetry, it's truely an amazing peice of work, i love it. I can read the same poem hundreds of times and each time my mind'll be forced into thought and reflection. I love this collection of poems by Kerouac, deffinitly suggest it!

Excerpt:

"Men are afraid to forget
their own minds,
Fearing to fall thru the void
With nothing to which they can cling.

The do not know
that the void
is not really void
but the real realm
of the Dharma." --

Wow, i thought reading that,
when i start falling
in that inhuman pit
of dizzy death
I'll know (if
smart enough to remember)
that all the black
tunnels of hate
or love I'm falling
through, are
really radiant
right eternities
for me

 

i bought it 2 weeks ago and as soon as i got home i started reading and couldnt stop. I read it straight through in about 2 1/2 hours, love love love it.
