To Honor Neal Cassady

oh Neal Cassady forever Dean
to those who read and know the book
written by friend Kerouac of travels
and adventures many through the distant
roads of mid twentieth century America
soon after war trumpets fade and the days
are turning to the more prosperous Fifties
where the sound of Rock and Roll will ring
but yet here rides Neal Cassady
always traveling always rambling
always the young character of a now famous book
of travels along the roads from West to East
and then East to West with wild abandon
Neal is the spirit of free America
one that is dying away now as the winds die
after the storm is gone
The character Dean Moriarty in the Classic book by Jack Kerouac "On The Road" was and forever is Neal Cassady.
He died on a cold day in 1968, frozen along a railroad track in Mexico, still traveling.
