I have made you breakfast Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How sweet of you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are you after <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just Stan and Jane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Stephen Crane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What makes you say that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I dreamt about meeting the poet <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or rather not meeting the poet <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had been invited to his house <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A huge austere pile on the South Coast <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had liked some of my poetry <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And wanted to meet me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But every time that I went into a room <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had just left <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a frustrating dream <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as I left the house I felt really good <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I knew that Crane was dead <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that I had been chasing his ghost <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you dream<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No not that I can remember <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always dream <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is because you are a poet Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have just realised that fifty-five years ago today <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The body of Neal Cassidy was found next to railway tracks in Mexico<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cannot remember what caused his death <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what I found haunting was that Jack Kerouac <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Had once said of his friend <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someday Dean’s going to go on one of these trips and never come back <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These words were rather prophetic I believe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I agree <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many have tried to find America <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But nobody really has <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is because you are always searching for an abstract<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that you might be right Stan <\/p>\n\n\n\n
