Pinwheels Panama Red and Pot Holders
While gleaning yesterday from today.
I found an old friend, dusty and chipped.
Back in the day, we weren't just directionless kittens.
But "budding" congressmen, doctors, and convicts.
Sitting around a whirling tie-dyed circle.
Sharing a glass tube filled with happy grass.
Minds dabbling between tide pools of freedom.
And the coming tsunami of responsibility.
For a brief time, we held back the atomic bomb of adulthood.
Clinging to the last pinwheel of childhood.
With a Z.Z Top eight-track, a six-pack of Genesee Cream Ale
and a sweet bowl or two of Panama Red.
