“I made love to her under the tarantula.”
—Jack Kerouac, On the Road
Beams and beliefs
before the bottom
fell out
and I became just
another casualty.
It’s not the fur—it’s the dander.

Not a huge Kerouac aficionado but there’s something about this poem that just… works. That last line adds a whole other dimension somehow. Nice.
