“Four Poems for Robin”
“A scene should be selected by the writer for haunted-ness-of-mind interest.
If you’re not haunted by something, as by a dream, a vision, or a memory, which are involuntary, you’re not interested or even involved.”Jack Kerouac, Book of Sketches
“Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.”
William S. Burroughs (via alvinmanalo)
