Visions of Cody (wr. 1951) (pub. 1972)

—Jack Kerouac

[razorsadness]

The Mad Road, lonely, leading around the bend into the openings of space towards the horizon Wasatch snows promised us in the vision of the West, spine heights at the world’s end, coast of blue Pacific starry night - nobone halfbanana moons sloping in the tangled night sky, the torments of great formations in the mist, the huddled invisible insect in the car racing onwards, illuminate. - The raw cut, the drag, the butte, the star, the draw, the sunflower in the grass - orangebutted west lands of Arcadia, forlorn sands of the isolate earth, dewy exposures to infinity in black space, home of the rattlesnake and the gopher…the level of the world, low and flat: the charging restless mute unvoiced road keening in a seizure of tarpaulin power into the route, fabulous plots of landowners in green unexpecteds, ditches by the side of the road, as I look from here to Elko along the level of this pin parallel to telephone poles I can see a bug playing in the hot sun - swush, hitch yourself a ride beyond the fastest freighttrain, beat the smoke, find the thighs, spend the shiny, throw the shroud, kiss the morning star in the morning glass - madroad driving men ahead. Pencil traceries of our faintest wish in the travel of the horizon merged, nosey cloud obfusks in a drabble of speechless distance, the black sheep clouds cling a parallel above the stems of the CBQ - serried Little Missouri rocks haunt the badlands, harsh dry brown fields roll in the moonlight with a shiny cow’s ass, telephone poles toothpick time, “dotting immensity” the crazed voyager of the lone automobile presses forth his eager insignificance in noseplates and licenses into the vast promise of life…the choice of tragic wives, moons. Drain your basins in old Ohio and the Indian and the Illini plains, bring your big muddy rivers through Kansas and the mudlands, Yellowstone in the frozen North, punch lake holes in Florida and L.A., raise your cities in the white plain, cast your mountains up, bedawze the west, bedight the West with brave hedgerow cliffs rising to Promethean heights and fame - plant your prisons in the basin of the Utah moon - nudge Canadian groping lands that end in arctic bays, purl your Mexican ribneck, America.

Just going back through stuff I noted on Jack Kerouac's "Visions Of Cody" and man I'd kill to have an audiobook where Matthew McConaughey reads it.. I feel like he fits Kerouac's vibe well enough he should've even been Dean in that mid adaptation of On The Road a decade or two ago, but seriously do you not hear this in his voice?

cody, earnestly: fox, you need to get out there now the war is over! wolffe is in SAR, rex and ahsoka opened a gym, even your commander thorn has that holocast—

bly, nodding: yeah! what was it? the hunt for coruscant’s cryptid?

cody: that’s the one. so what do you say, vod? going to get out there?

fox, pushing up from the table: but then who would thorn be hunting? *puts on a previously unnoticed massive animal mask and heelies away, shooting fingerblasters as he goes*

cody:

bly: yeah, we left the intervention too late, didn’t we.

Did you hear about the sun that died in the dark?

No black hole or a nebula left in its trace.

What a sad thing to happen.

Wookiepedia descriptions of the clones will be like “[Copy pasted recounting of the prequels plot]”, “They served on Planet with a Jedi [summary of clone wars episode],” “Personality: they showed evidence of humor when they laughed one time,” “Death: They were killed in the most horrible way you can imagine,” “Behind the scenes: Dave Filoni likes purple and that’s why his armor is purple. And his name is Huttese for Bread.”

But it was only yesterday that Cody said to me and nobody’s said such a thing in over a year, “I love you, man, you’ve got to dig that; boy, you’ve got to know.”
