Sad Eyed Pisces In A Flannel Shirt: Remembering Jack Kerouac

He was at the end
of the bar
Sad eyed Pisces
in a flannel shirt
So drunk
that we had to take him
physically
back across the bay
and to bed
When I first arrived
I did not know
he was the man I was meeting
until you arrived
and pointed him out
He seemed so quiet
at the end
of the bar
I was slightly startled
that he was the one
who drew us here tonight
and that I would have to carry him out
into the night
