Jack
Society tried to sell me a dream:
Work hard,
Fit in,
And keep your nose clean.
Jack sold me an alternative view:
Go Go Go,
Live it,
Nothing less will do.

I was sixteen when I discovered Jack Kerouac. He came at the right time. I did not like the life on offer. I wanted something much more.
Jack offered sex, excitement, madness, exploration, wonder, awe, music, zen, marijuana and shared adventure.
That’s what I wanted.
It sounded much better than a career.
