“You don’t realize what a strain it is on the nerves to write or think-of-writing all day long, and to sleep full of nervous dreams, and to wake up not knowing who one is: - this all stems from anxiety about finishing the book, about time ‘growing short’ , etc., and the perpetual strain of invention.” 

- Kerouac in his notebook (February 6, 1948)

Pull my daisy

tip my cup

all my doors are open

Cut my thoughts for coconuts

all my eggs are broken…
