#JackKerouac

Today would have been your hundred and first birthday.
I wonder, sometimes, what we missed, whether you would have grown calmer and duller with age, or whether you would have grown wilder and weirder as society grew ever more permissive...
Your work is not always easy to read - but it is magical to do so on a dull wet afternoon, feeling the rhythms increasing, and picking up the hidden, which is ever there - to twist the words until their secrets suddenly come
