Mexico City Blues
I know how and when to pull the trigger, Janet tells us.
Tom tells us there are entirely too many triggers.
But together we can triumph, Chad tells Texans.
Great God Almighty
What’s to be done?
O what’s to be done?
Sings the majestical keener
and moaner
At the Mexican Funeral home -
And from a clap in the upclouds
Comes a clap of clouts,
All has been done.
As Theravada say “Nothing”
224th Chorus of Mexico City Blues by Jack Kerouac (1959)
More from the Houston Chronicle, El Paso Times, and the Washington Post.
