3rd Chorus Mexico City Blues

Jack Kerouac

 Next Poem          

Describe fires in riverbottom
sand, and the cooking;
the cooking of hot dogs
spitted in whittled sticks
over flames of woodfire
with grease dropping in smoke
to brown and blacken
the salty hotdogs,
and the wine,
and the work on the railroad.

$275,000,000,000.00 in debt
says the Government
Two hundred and seventy five billion
dollars in debt
Like Unending
Heaven
And Unnumbered Sentient Beings
Who will be admitted --
Not-Numberable --
To the new Pair of Shoes
Of White Guru Fleece
O j o !
The Purple Paradise
