Satori in Paris & Pic

by Jack Kerouac

“Do you know how to mop floors in the basement? Two Army cots beside the furnace, hundred dollars a month, fifty each, free food, no rent.”

so we had our hunnerd dollars and took the road bus with the picture of the blue hound dog on the side of it, Greyhound it’s called, and we peewetted across Ohia and clear inta Nebraskar, Slim was asleep in the back seat all alone stretched out legs all over, and I was sittin in a reg’lar seat near-up with a ninety-year-old white man, and when we come to a stop just before Kearney, Nebraskar,

We then was now in the Sacramenty Valley, grandpa, and quick we saw Sheila’s ropelines with wash on hooks of wood hung dryin, flappety-flap.

And Sheila run up, kissed him hungarianly, and we went in eat the steak she saved up for us, with mashy potatoes, pole beans, and cherry banana spoon ice cream split.
