RV 53 (BIG SUR53) Italian beauty girl but’s going to leave her in a few days to go work for the circus, a big tough Yugoslav kid who ran the Seven Arts Gallery in New York with big bearded beatnik readings but now comes the circus and a whole big on-the-road of his own—It’s too much, in fact right this minute he's started telling us about circus work—On top of all that old Cody is up ahead with HIS thousand stories—We all agree it’s too big to keep up with, that we're surrounded by life, that well never understand it, so we center it all in by swigging Scotch from the bottle and when it’s empty I run out of the car and buy another one, period.
