jack tangos with #45

when jack wrote on the road
i think his main objective was to break
taboos that kept this country on sexual 
lockdown  since puritans
wrote the nation's morals with fire and brimstone
and a scarlet A.   the legend that follows
 the hippie's bible rarely reflects its author,
who died married, broke and drunk just down
the street , stuck in a living room watching
walter cronkite read the news
 about places he'd rather
forget.  sort of like america, sort of like dreams
that took a month off in the summer to find themselves
and never came back. but
it accomplished the mission, the revolution happened
because someone invented the birth control pill
baby, and free love was this year's blond.

nothing, ever, lives up to the hype.

 just ask  45th who got what he wanted 
at the moment and now gotta live with 
what good is being king when you can't
play a round of golf at your club when you want to
can't ever drive a car again, can't play a game of pool
for chrissake at the flamingo , where your buddies who
 traveled across america with you, your buddies
who picked you up off the curb in denver and 
again in new york after she kicked you there
for a good reason you laughed about with dean and all of them 
when you got a good drink in your belly
your buddies 
gotta go through security invented by the nazis
to party with you and speaking of parties when you're king
you can't do the stuff you once did as private person no
there's eyes on you all the time, all the time asking king 
king what will we do about this and king king 
what do you think about that and you TELL them and
and 
they shun you. they shun you and forget about you 
  sitting alone in your gilded living room
watching cable news and tweeting your aubade
 into the darkness just before dawn.
