The friendly observer
Learned, gifted, prolific
Speed Racer

Voracious simple man
Coffee romantic
Mexican tourist

American traveler
Algerian wanderer
St. Pete-Tampa barfly

Kerouac

Good guy
Loved his mother
Hit the road Jack

Twisted bohemian
Hippie newsweek
Telegraph pop

Nightly news
Too bad it didn't turn out the way he wanted
Frankenstein

But time was slow
When it came, the decades change
Roosevelt to Roosevelt

But then came the 60's
The undergroup comfort
Became pop culture

Kerouac
