"Brief Moment"

Post by Hypatia » February 10th, 2014, 1:47 pm

A Homage

henry miller and sick Jews with a protestant work ethic\
these are a few of my favorites things


work, got to work
she can't stand not to look on her man with pride

intellectual work for the relief of woman's estate

Life against Death
Filthy Lucre in the land of the yahoos
the invisible hand of the point one percent
Laughing all the way to the bank
Lichtenstein oh Lichtenstein
by the dawns early light
laugh clown laugh
all the way to the bank
I used to be smart.

sometimes i think kerouac was really onto something, way back 60+ years ago with his rejection of debt-slavery consumerism as the ideal. "just don't participate" ....

sorry if that's off-topic, but that's what occurred to me as i read this ....

(btw, i couldn't get the link to work-- it said "try again later"-- probably my computer again.)
