Utopian Smoke

Utopian Smoke
David J Walker

tie-died Salesmen in ponytails
offered  peace in an
Aquarian timeshare
for annual fees and considerations 
keys of dried green grass line 
Golden streets with Brass Bongs
And the utopians smoke 
in long tokes exhaling 
foreign views of a world
from the peaks of unnamed 
Mountains
where Everyone is equal 
Because everyone is No one
who drink from the same fountain
Addressing the various alias 
Sir names on forged birth certificates
quoting Dylan as the
Odd god of mangled and 
Meaningless phrases 

The tie-died Salesmen in ponytails
Have taken apartments 
On Wall Street
