Jack Kerouac at Staten Island Ferry wharf, we used to wander night time docksides under Manhattan’s bridges & through truck parkinglots along East River singing rawbone blues, Leadbelly’s “Black Girl”, “Eli, Eli”, chanting Poe’s “Annabelle Lee” & shouting Hart Crane’s “O harp and altar of the fury fused”... and “Atlantis” to Brooklyn Bridge’s traffic spanned above.  Time of his Doctor Sax and The Subterraneans--New York Fall 1953.  (Ginsberg Caption) c.
