Simon and Garfunkel Songs
Their voices the same as I remember
Simon and Garfunkel and a simple guitar
Bringing the seventies immediately back to my mind
My hip hugger bell bottoms and embroidered blouses smile again
Their folk song brought back lava lamps and fringed jackets
I am in a van painted with fat flowers and yellow happy faces.
We are heading to Berkley to play our guitars and meet friends
People we never met before, but know are not strangers
Their voices casual and pretty, soft…..
Simon and Garfunkel, bringing back the seventies.
When we all wanted to go to California or New York.
To live our dreams, make our fortunes, and become our real selves.
I listen to the lyrics, remembering them a few seconds ahead.
Transported to a different world, a different time,
Seeing the peace signs and the beaded doorways.
Wanting to press the metal and get out of the Midwest.
I let their song take me back…..
