Beats

My Wife noticed I hadn't shaved in awhile,  and asked if I'd grow a soul patch.
I said I can't grow hair on my feet.
She said under my lower lip.
You mean like Dobie Gillis?
Who is Dobie Gillis?
He was a beatnik on a tv show played by Bob Denver, before Gilligan .

What's a beatnik?
I said Kerouac. Burroughs?

Anyway, I'm only early 50s. I don't know how I knew this, but I may grow a soul patch, because my life makes sense now.

I think I identify as a beatnik. A fictional beatnik.
