They meet at night, a hodgepodge of young
punks, greasers and hipsters; adolescents
racing to shed their virginity, hanging out
under the neon lights on hot summer nights.
Fast food, rock and roll, hot rods and loud
bikes, image and emotion, id and ego, the tug
of war to belong and to break away, a noxious
alchemy of teenage counter-culture fusion.
Wary of the blue knights of the Galahad
squad, they chill out in back, up by the railroad
tracks, light up and blow a joint, smoke
shaggy dog hashish, swill cold beer, pop a pill
and chase it down with Wild Turkey.
Feisty wards of the American Dream, under
the exotic narcotic extortion of youth, killing
time between twilight and dawn, childhood
and adulthood, suffering from the unbearable
heat of being cool.

"the exotic narcotic extortion of youth"
"suffering from the unbearable
heat of being cool."
I like the way you think, and how you translate it for others. Again, you have my admiration for something which should be framed and hung on a wall.
Vivid and nostalgic. 5 stars again. |
