Jack Kerouac is losing track of the days. He gets drunk and writes letters by night while a thunderstorm rages outside. In his medicine cabinet, he finds a fly that has died of old age.
Kerouac engages in Buddhist meditation. When at home, he can hear a lady's voice through the wall. He questions a bee who is staring at him, stating "I'm not a flower". Night falls as Kerouac attempts to read and it becomes too dark to see the page. He lays down the book in frustration.
