Jack Kerouac: "Bus itu menderu melalui ladang jagung Indiana malam itu...

"Bus itu menderu melalui ladang jagung Indiana malam itu; bulan menerangi sekumpulan hantu yang berkumpul; hampir Halloween. Saya berkenalan dengan seorang gadis dan kami pergi ke Indianapolis. Dia rabun jauh. Ketika kami pergi makan, aku harus menuntunnya ke konter makan siang. Dia membeli makanan saya; sandwich saya sudah habis. Sebagai gantinya saya menceritakan kisah panjangnya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The bus roared through Indiana cornfields that night; the moon illuminated the ghostly gathered husks; it was almost Halloween. I made the acquaintance of a girl and we necked all the way to Indianapolis. She was nearsighted. When we got off to eat I had to lead her by the hand to the lunch counter. She bought my meals; my sandwiches were all gone. In exchange I told her long stories.
