Tip One Back for Jack...

...born this very day in 1922. Died right on time. A fellow Pisces (and that's where the similarities end), poet, drinker (okay, I lied before), and literary icon.

Words like scimitars to topple the giant, Ennui...

You don't know
what I'm all about
like killing cops
and reading Kerouac

“I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.”
