Exiled

The ghosts are gone now.
No more car rides across the country.
It's been years.

They were on the pages.
Impressionable, easily swayed to go.
In that convertible '39 LaSalle.

Fell in true love right away.
Another starlight introduction is needed.
Hit me like a bolt.

Just a normal life with friends.
Two year railroad trip to San Quentin.
Smells of the house.

The lady decides.
Carolyn is the truest hero of On The Road.
Allowing the madness.

Two weeks of parties in Denver.
Kicked off to California to work the rails.
Fill up the money pot.

Make a life.
Fill it up with gasoline and cruise back.
Work was seasonal at that time.

Time for good times.
North Beach days, full of eastern visitors.
Direct from the mind.

They had serious lives.
Away from the fictional personalities.
The tide of respectability.

Then the prankster.
Broken hearted and exiled to idolatry.
Seeking the young soul.
