The Open Road Revisited




I can be Jack Kerouac
and you can be Emily Dickinson --

together we can blow this joint
and hit the only open road yet to be traveled.

Overcoming our dichotomous anxieties
we will flow as Yin and Yang

A poet's heart, a poet's soul: you and I
build paper cranes until its time to nap.

Off we go into space -- the new frontier
tiered of squaresville and mundane bedrooms.

Off we go:

I can be Jack Kerouac
aand you can be Emily Dickinson --

Subversively singing soft mad lullabies
to our infant dreams: the children of the world.

Hi Cathy,

Thank you. So in all honesty I did a search on google and that was the first image that really caught my attention.

So after some research, I found that this is actually Iceland. The credit goes to photographer Mike Richard.

You can find him on this website: http://www.vagabondish.com/photo-of-the-moment-the-open-road-iceland/.
