Flower Children*

Weeds and beads
Crystals and pistols
Life is a big bawl of pot
Swim across the top
Of Niagara falls.

Turn on, tune in
Blow your brain
Hook onto escape
From the rat race
To nirvana.

Go grass-happy
Pull your eye balls
So they can see
Colors suspended
On the air.

Get stoned
For the last great high-up
In the sky
Pace
Hasan Sabah, the pagan.

SKY-SCRATCHERS

Sinews tightened grip,
Earth loosened her loins.
Stalactites jut out
Skyward
A jungle of iron and concrete.
Blood and iron mix well
To mummify glory
And fossilize ambition.

* Reprinted from Youth Times (defunct)1976 October 15-28.

Om Shantih
Ajit Sambodhi.
