jack wept


someone asked me where those three little guys at the top of the blog came from & who they were. i drew them to go along with a poem i wrote after purchasing the boxed cd set of kerouac's readings.

Wholeness Be Damned

I would have been happy

just listening to Jack read haiku

with Al Cohn & Zoot Sims

but I went ahead & read the liner notes

The notes told me that Sims & Cohn

just picked up & left after the set—

like just another gig, man.

And Jack set in a corner.

And Jack wept

yup, & the other one is sort of a take on "birth, death, infinity" water breaking, new birth, sun, quivering body in the throes of life, death & all that
