One might think of this piece as an “I wish I had said this instead” story.  It is the brash inside echo of what so many of us stumble to put into words in the outside world.  The “Jack” referred to in the title of this brief, no-holds-barred love song is American beat poet Jack Kerouac.  Kerouac’s style of poetry, sprung full-blown from post WWII early American languages, is hip, rhythmic, and directly to the point of its subject.  Aldeen Humphreys’ poem is a tribute to Jack Kerouac and a little packet of courage for shy lovers.  Hey, you!
