From the Usenet poetry newsgroup archives:

"I want to be considered a jazz poet, blowing a long blues in an afternoon jam session on Sunday. I take 242 choruses; my ideas vary and sometimes roll from chorus to chorus or from halfway through a chorus to halfway into the next." -Jack Kerouac

"Mexico City Blues" was very inspiring reading for me in 1974, anc early view of the possibilities of the haiku form of poetry.
