On the Road

On the Road

Kerouac wrote compellingly

linguistic paintings

of the places they travelled

liturgical articulations of a

generation's ethos

On the Road

Willie sings a familiar

nomadic melody of

musicians travelling highways

where rhythm and life and

rhyme collide

many roads define culture, and the

borders of nostalgia

while Jesus' road

leads to suffering

   to death

      and then (& now)

to fullness of life
