AS I SHAMBLE


".....and i shamble 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 common place thing,

but burn, burn, burn,

like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop

and everybody goes aww!"

The thing I loved about Jack was his statement that beat wasn't a derogatoary term for him, it meant beatitude, the feeling of the sacred after a long night of the world beating down upon you and still surviving to see the sunrise of another day and experience the thrill of discovering new and unexplored areas of not only the world without but the world within.

That's what street performing does for me.
