“A Friend Waiting for Neal Cassady”

I start walking south along the tracks past a loading dock, a water-treatment plant, a squatter’s farm with a house made of scrap, a neat garden, a chicken coop, clothes on a line, a horse in a makeshift stable. In no time I am in the country. Burros graze in the pretty orchards to the west. A jagged hillside covered in mesquite trees and prickly pear cacti rises to the southeast. I zip my jacket against the cool early morning mountain air. Cassady walked these tracks that February night in 1968. He’d stumbled into a wedding party in a nearby village. The local story is that he was very drunk, but was shown hospitality, invited to join in, given food. Later he went off into the darkness.

He then left the party and went walking alone along the tracks towards the next town, wearing only jeans and a T-shirt even though it was a cold and rainy night. He was discovered in a coma by the railroad tracks the next morning and was taken to the hospital. He died later that same day, just four days short of his 42nd birthday.
