Beats In Kansas: The Beat Generation in the Heartland


Words--aren't real

From
the locked man

by Alan Russo, 1960
Wichita, Kansas


Words--aren't real.
Eloquence--without a voice.
Witness--witness to the rite,
the cherry demolition at the ego's spine.
The city of the mind is then built on the rubble of chastened ignorance!
