Jack Kerouac died today
At home in St. Petersburg
It was back in 1969
In case you haven’t heard

Jean-Louis, I’ll pay my respects to you
For a moment in time
I’ll share a drink of Johnny Walker Red
Or maybe even a bottle of wine

Ti Jean, since I’ve been respectful
And we’ve shared a drink or two
Maybe before you leave tonight
You can teach me to write like you

Jack Kerouac died today
It was 49 years ago
If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to bed now
With my copy of On the Road

I first met Dean not long after my wife and I split up...
