hobo book club


Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

I found some choice books in the trash the other day and recommend them for your reading pleasure. Maybe you want to find yourself a copy in the trash and write me a book report?

1. Dancing with Cats. A mostly picture book of strange people doing interpretive dance with cats. I gave this book to my friend and she said she already had it and threw it away years ago.

2. Woody Allen's "Getting Even." Already read it but lost my copy. Half way through "The Meterling Lists." Genius.

3. Jack Kerouac's "Scattered Poems.";

"Pull my daisy
Tip my cup
cut my thoughts
for coconuts

Jack my Arden
Gate my shades
Silk my Garden
Rose my days

Bone my shadow
Dove my dream
Milk my mind &
Make me cream

Hop my heart on
Harp my height
Hip my angel
Hype my light

Heal the raindrop
Sow the eye
Woe the worm
Work the wise

Stop the hoax
Where's the wake
What's the box
How's the hicks

Rob my locker
Lick my rocks
Rack my lacks
Lark my looks

Whore my door
Beat my beer
Craze my hair
Bare my poor

Say my oops
Ope my shell
Roll my bones
Ring my bell

Pope my parts
Pop my pet
Poke my pap
Pit my plum"


Alan Ginsburg, Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady 1951
