Generation Y by Ryan Nardihippy-dippy
sippy-straw philosophy
smoothie buddha with whipped cream
vegan raw and gluten free
egyptian jewish jesus-freaks
on democratic chinese tea
your yoga-boga lentil soup
is hocus-pocus
me means you
your geriatric gyro-spiel
and seventh-hand accounts of wheels
observed by old ezekiel
is hookah smoke tsoukalos choked out
and whodathunk
our roots were punk
your guru-goop is sixties hash
on a safety pin
dug out of the trash

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/14/13 at 09:51 PM Playful, fun dig at the 60s and some of the health-nut practices that rose in following decades. Great title also. |
Posted by Gail Wolper on 01/06/14 at 04:25 AM great write and lots of fun to read. I love when a poet understands how important it is to not take oneself too seriously... |
