Stalling for Time

You and Kerouac are both at least nominally from Lowell. And you’re both from Québécois families. But the similarity ends about there. What you need, he said, is “the energy of a benny addict.” He had it, and you don’t. What you do have, at long last, is the use of a car and enough cash to fuel it all the way to the West. Never mind that these things are only yours for the moment.
