BEATNIKS ON PARADE
One time Anatole Broyard said
'if it hadn't been for sex we would
have been at the mercy of books.'
Yeah, I guess - the ties that binding?
And now, yo, Daddio, didn't I
see you skimming my sister? That
horn was flat, you was groovin'
though. Anais Nin lived on 13th.
Went there too. We had to walk
up, all the way, because everybody
cheap always lived at the top. And
then used the roof, like an extra.
Her husband too, Ian Hugo, said
they did that 'because we like to
get to the light...' I always thought
she wanted to outlive her age, and
I guess she did, thought her teeth
looked false. She was 'seantic'. That
was the word I made up, for her,
for always being as if in a seance.
