I find myself in a trance. I look across the café and see this vision of Kerouac and Cassidy jostling each other over the fires of Hades, I try to voice my verse in panic stricken tones. Such audience as this I did not expect. And to what divinity must I give praise for this opportunity, It is startling to me to be in such presence, The radical hipster and beatnik coming under the gun. Duress is such but I panic not. I am too flustered by the moment, Could this even be real?
Ready for defeat
can not admit to myself
a moment passing
another moment rising
an illusion to behold
