"RUNNING THROUGH" - CHINESE POEM SONG (by Jack Kerouac) O, I today sad as Chu Yuan stumbled to the store in broiling Florida October morning heat cursing for my wine, sweating like rain, & came to my chair weak & trembling wondering if I'm crazy at last -- O, Chu Yuan! No! No suicide! Wine, please, wine! What shall we all do, all knowing we're dying without wine to guide us to winking at death & life too -- my heart belongs to Chinese poets & their scrolls -- we can't just die -- men need wine & poetry at least O Mao, poet Mao, not Boss Mao, here in America wine is laughed at & poetry a joke -- Death's a grim reminder to everybody already dead crashing in cars all around here -- here men and women dryly scowl at poets' sad attempts to make our lot a whole lot lesser -- I, a poet, suffer even for bugs I find upside down dying in the grass -- so I drink wine alone -- I shudder to think how dead the astronauts are going to a dead moon of no wine All our best men are laughed at in this nightmare land but the newspapers preen in virtue -- throughout the world the left & right, the east & west, are both vicious -- the happy old winebibber is gone -- I want him to reappear -- for modern China preens in virtue too for no better reason than America -- nobody has respect for the cat asleep, and I am hopelessly inadequate in this poem -- nobody has respect for the self centered irresponsible wine invalid -- everybody wants to be strapped in a hopeless space suit where they cant move -- I urge you, China,go back to Li Po &Tao Yuan Ming What am I talking about? I don’t know, I'm sick today -- I didn’t sleep all night, walked stumbling in the field to get wine, now I'm drinking it, I feel better and worse -- I have something to say to Mao & the poets of China that won't come out -- it's all about how America ignored poetry & wine, & so does China, & I'm a fool without a river & a boat & a flower suit -- without a wineshop at dawn -- -- without self-respect -- -- -- without the truth -- but I'm a better man than all of you -- that's what I wanted to say

Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg, a pioneer of the Beat Generation. Kerouac is recognized for his spontaneous method of writing, covering topics such as Catholic spirituality, jazz, promiscuity, Buddhism, drugs, poverty, and travel. Kerouac became an underground celebrity and, with other beats, a progenitor of the hippie movement, although he remained antagonistic toward some of its politically radical elements.In 1969, at age 47, Kerouac died from internal bleeding due... подробнее
