On A Roof 1967

First heard Sgt. Peppers…first time stoned…
on a roof with my friend, Bill the God,
throwing firecrackers into the street
to see what the cars do…so easily distracted,
those cars….funny…maybe we can change
the world…

Bill the God is dead….suicide…we didn’t
change the world so’s you’d know it…
and, as Dennis Hopper said, just before he
died: ”It’s like the Sixties never happened.”

We could see it that night…the future…
maybe we were seeing a more distant time.
We’ll get there…dead or alive…we saw it.
A vision like that you don’t see all at once.
