Beats In Kansas: The Beat Generation in the Heartland


I will not walk the road to synthesis again

From
the locked man

by Alan Russo, 1960
Wichita, Kansas


I will not walk the road to synthesis again.
I will not take the garish colored pills.
My blood is red or green, and proud.
It has its own mythològy.
The way of contemplation is not strained.
