The Hippy Boy

We stopped in the

whispy city,

the hippy boy and me.

We thought of the

good times and bad,

and encouraged our minds

to be free.

 

We came upon a drifter

a ***** old man and

his wife.

We never felt the distance,

though imagined their life

without strife.

 

But where can we be

today

alone in our world

side by side.

We thought about

loving good times

so great and yet

we cried.

Reenter the crispy-

like city,

snow covered,

serene & oblique.

We wandered around

with no purpose,

an oasis that just

sprung a leak.

 

And who never fought

the war,

the angular, meaningless

scourge.

We found all the cities

amuck,

and all we could sing

was good luck.

 

So who never sang

the song,

that glorious, soulful

olio.

Just me and that young

hippy boy,

while nobody else

really cared.
