Blue Nun Music
The psychedelic décor and Sergeant Pepper
wore the same uniformly gaudy tones.
Burgundy striped stockings hung on a lava lamp,
puff the magic dragon dwelt in our rented rainbow.
A poster of Leonard Cohen as a young man.
Shag carpet for cozy shagging.
A Paddington apartment above a smoky railway.
A girl drinking Liebfraumilch
waiting for me to come home
with a used album of Rubber Sole
We had vinyl prayer-wheels.
Beetles played in every hallway –
literally.
Figuratively,
we had red and yellow music, bottles of Blue Nun,
oodles of fun
for the horny young.
