Here you will find the Poem Bus East of poet Jack Kerouac

Bus East

Society has good intentions Bureaucracy is like a friend
5 years ago - other furies other losses -

America's 
trying to control the uncontrollable Forest fires, Vice

The essential smile In the essential sleep Of the children Of the essential mind

I'm 
all thru playing the American 
Now I'm going to live a good quiet life

The 
world should be built for foot walkers

Oily 
rivers Of spiney Nevady

I 
am Jake Cake 
Rake 
Write like Blake

The 
horse is not pleased Sight of his
gorgeous finery 
in the dust Its silken 
nostrils 
did disgust

Cats 
arent kind Kiddies anent sweet

April 
in Nevada - Investigating Dismal Cheyenne Where the war parties 
In fields 
of straw 
Aimed over oxen At Indian Chiefs 
In wild headdress Pouring thru 
the gap 
In Wyoming plain 
To make the settlers 
Eat more dust than dust 
was eaten In the States From East at Seacoast Where wagons made up To dreadful 
Plains 
Of clazer vup

Saltry 
settlers 
Anxious to masturbate The Mongol Sea (I'm too tired in Cheyenne - 
No sleep in 4 nights now, & 2 to go)
