Woodstock

[poliphilo]

Forty years since Woodstock? So it is. Here, have a poem:

WOODSTOCK

 

And all the generations go

Down-a-down-derry.

 

This is mine

Spread out like sheep on the pale green hills,

Ingesting smoke-

You dig it, man?-

Changing the world with daddy’s money.

 

Arlo is sweet,

Hendrix amazing,

Baez sings out pure as a bell

In a chapel of air, the high notes smoking.

 

Down-a-down-derry.

Were you a hippy? I somehow can't imagine you being into dope and colourful clothes!!

No, I wasn't. Not really. More of a fellow traveller. I took LSD once to see what it was like.

My clothes have got more colourful with age. You should see the candy-striped jumper I'm wearing today.
