Poem

In '59 the world was fine.
in yellow, childlike summertime. 
There was Charlton Heston, being" Ben Hur"
Fidel Castro's ferocious slur.
brand new '59 Ford Galaxies
people on trains going "North by Northwest"
a man wanting to marry a man cause" Some Like it Hot" 
and wars were cold.
Killers were crazy, caught and hanged,
and the greatest hairdo was a ponytail and bang.
There was family TV, family meal and family car.
Refrigerators powered big buxom doors,
and the ice cream man cometh 
the gasman, milkman and doctor.
Born were Boeing 707's, Barbie Dolls and colorized "Bonanza" 
as the 60's danced on the shoulders of this golden era,
all bliss and pink paradise
visions, visions, of cat eye marbles and jacks left to keep 
of snow-cones, bicycles, hula hoops
mellowing into a silver decade
no pain, no American tears
pure trust.
Until their blood
splattered on us.
