Titvillus

There are three ways for people to react to the situation of becoming too rowdy for the customers and being asked to leave. The first is when someone is thrown out of a bar and all they do is stand on the doorstep and look in the window; The next type just pick themselves off the sidewalk and walk away. Then there are others that come back and hurl a brick through the window to give the owners of the store a little taste of who not to mess with. A nine to five'r is going to do the first, a hard drunk is going to do the middle and a true individual will do the last. It is those people who read Kerouac and burn brightly like Roman candles. They are the ones who push the boundaries and force discussion, they are the leaders to places that no one knew existed but now are comfortable in. They are the ones that are always forced down by the powers that be so that control and calm can be kept. Unfortunately the only thing that calm creates is more calm, it is discussion and disagreement that oils thought and keeps the blood flowing through the brain so that it does not atrophy like the appendix. If there is nothing that can be talked about then nothing will be talked about, only the frivolous will be raised to the acme of discussion when the meaty topics are forbidden. In the land with too many rules only what causes no waves will be talked about.

Burn brightly

"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 center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh..."
