There is hope
hope of finding the right one
in a storybook nirvana the ancients
who built the world
wished they thought of....

There is hope
that a story written
a phrase turned
or word uttered
would influence a
change so great--
like Kaufman, Ginsburg, Burroughs, Kerouac & Smith...

Hope still exists
that light will never go out
the stars will still shine and
life will still be around
thousands of millions of years

There is hope
still left
my friends,
beating
beating in my heart--
ready to carry with me--
--solo until the day I'm the last
one standing--
ready to be executed
for my views.
