19th Chorus

Джек Керуак
Christ had a dove on his shoulder
-My brother Gerard
    Had 2 Doves
    And 2 Lambs
    Pulling his Milky Chariot.

Immersed in fragrant old
        spittoon water
He was Baptized by Iron
        Priest Saint Jacques
De Fournier in Lowell
        Massachusetts
In the Gray Rain Year
        1919
When Chaplin had Spats
        and Dempsey
Drank no whisky by the track.

My mother saw him in heaven
Riding away, prophesying
Everything will be alright
Which I have learned now
By Trial & Conviction
In the Court of Awful Glots
