Rest in peace,                      not dead but infinitely                    issuing charisma and Truth                    Your dusty soul inhabiting                     someone no older than 30 something.                      Paying Karmic debt for                        spiritual misadventures.                      Or are you in all of us,                        pieces scattered and dispersed                        into youthful minds.                      Or were you enlightened?The comments on Karmic debt and Enlightenment refer to Kerouac's belief in Buddhism and how it is now affecting him in death.
