Generation Y

by Ryan Nardi

hippy-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

Clever, lively poke in our eye. Thanks!

Playful, fun dig at the 60s and some of the health-nut practices that rose in following decades. Great title also.

great write and lots of fun to read. I love when a poet understands how important it is to not take oneself too seriously...
