Where Were You In the 70's

The question itself begs interpretation, The word 'where' concealing so many implications Is this 'where' a physical place, or state of mind? Perhaps it's with a higher consciousness aligned? Boston, London, Paris, or Rome? Cairo, Lisbon, Moscow, or Gnome? Were you abroad? Were you at sea? Were you in space? --Or just at home? Perhaps you were in Timbuktu, or basking in the ambience of Xanadu, Sailing away on pink Chablis, sipping winter-blossom chartreuse tea. The word itself is a siren, inviting by utterance unimaginable peregrinations Of connotations, demarcations, gesticulations, imprecations--divinations! Fathomless depths, layers of meaning, shells of encasement, particulars beaming: 'Here' is in 'where,' and so is 'were.' Were you here? Where? Posibilities teeming.. Not to mention 'Ere' and 'Rhee:' Ere you were here, where were you, Rhee? Ah, Rhee, my bold, my courageous, my daring--yet compassionate Draupadi. Now ere I bid this poem adieu: Where were you in the 70s is the question. Hmmm. I can't really say. Forgive me, please, this slight indiscretion.
