And Everybody Goes "Awww"



They danced
down the streets
like dingledodies,
and I shambled after
as I've been doing
all my life
after people who
interest me,
because the only
people for me
are the mad ones,
the ones who are
mad to live,
mad to talk,
mad to be saved,
desirous of everything
at the same time,
the ones who
never yawn or say a commonplace thing,
but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww".
--Jack Kerouac (from On The Road)
