two. ON THE ROAD, JACK KEROUAC
sit in a cadillac . Gasoline, oil, cigarettes and food. jump into life and to the road. “(...) Although my aunt warned me that she could get me into trouble, I heard a new call and saw a new horizon, and in my youth I believed it; (...) what did that matter? I was a young writer and wanted to travel."
Travel just to travel. poetry and jazz and route 66 . "I came back full of energy. Terry was in the bathroom fixing his face. I filled a glass of whiskey and we had big gulps. Oh, that was sweet and delicious! All my dreary trip had been worth it! I got behind her in the mirror, and we danced like that around the bathroom. I started telling her about my friends from the East."
In the path are too three weeks of typewriter , words on a scroll with no margins and lots of coffee. "(...) But then they danced through the streets like crazy tops, and I wavered after them as I have been doing all my life while following the people that interest me, because the only people that interest me are the ones that are crazy, the people who are crazy to live, crazy to talk, crazy to be saved, wanting everything at the same time, the people who never yawn or talk platitudes, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow rockets exploding like spiders between the stars and then you see a blue light burst and everyone goes "Ahhh!"

'Footprints'
Today it rains in the places you haven't seen
never, in the urinated corners
of the streets that you will never need,
that you won't miss. and despite
of that it seems that the city
it exists beyond consciousness;
there are footprints
visible in the rain,
when today dies and tomorrow becomes
in something very possible
something almost certain not to be
for the unspeakable uncertainties
always.
You are not and you have not been
and it rains
thick in the places you haven't seen,
on some terraces where
You will say that we leave it, that this love
imaginary must be realized
to follow your footprints to see
that it is only true that it is raining.
Poetry for traveling by train
