A young couple embrace under a movie theater marquee on a busy city street in this almost square black and white photograph. They are both pale-skinned with short, curly hair. The man is angled to our right while the woman faces him so we see her in profile. They both laugh as he holds her close with his left arm, on our right, draped across her shoulders. The man wears a white T-shirt under a loose blazer and baggy pants. The woman wears a loose-fitting, knee-length coat, and the hand we can see is in the pocket. The street stretches behind them and to our left, and people walk in both directions. The pedestrians wear similar clothing except for three sailors in the distance who stand out because of their white caps. Two young men stand near the couple examining the posters outside the theater, and a man in a coat and hat walks toward them from the right. Storefront signs extend from buildings lining the street, and a rolled-up awning close to us advertises a jewelry and watchmaking store. The marquee over their heads reads, “3 Complete Features: Marlon Brando, ‘The Wild One,’ ‘Stranger Wore Gun,’ and ‘Tarzan the Ape Man.’” The artist wrote a long caption in round cursive under the image. It reads, “Neal Cassady and his love of that year the star-cross'd Natalie Jackson conscious of their rôles in Market Street Eternity: Cassady had been prototype for Jack Kerouac's 1950 On the Road saga hero Dean Moriarty, as later in 1960's he'd taken the driver's wheel of Ken Kesey's psychedelic-era day-glo painted merry prankster crosscountry bus ‘Further.’ Neal's illuminated American automobile mania, ‘unspeakably enthusiastic’ friendship & erotic energy had already written his name in bright-lit signs of our literary imaginations before movies were made imitating his charm. That's why we stopped under the marquee to fix the passing hand on the watch, San Francisco, maybe March 1955. Allen Ginsberg.”
