Microdot Road Trip

Acid + Road Trip = Groovy, man.

 

Polyester pants aren't cool she said

so I slipped into jeans and threaded my hand-tooled
leather belt through the loops.  Jerry Garcia has nothing
on me.  If cool is hand-tooled then cool she will see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lawyers aren't cool either she said

so I switched my career and sold flowers instead.
Pablo Picasso'd be real proud of these.  If flowers
are power then I aim to please.

 

 

 

 

Cadillac cars aren't cool now she said

so I bought me a Volkswagen bus with a bed.  Timothy
Leary hitched a ride to Lake Placid.  He paid for his
ride with two hits of acid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hippie chicks aren't cool anymore I said

so I pulled out my pistol and left her for dead. 
Little dancing spoons crawled out of her skull. 
A microdot road trip is never dull.

I had 3 old Caddies in a row.
The dancing spoons are magnificent.
I hope she wasn't shot with a cheap .32.
Excellent use of illustration. A twist I may
pick up from you.

I get wonderfully lost in this beautiful work my friend......It stands socially alone........on it's own merit......it speaks volumes to us flower children........and it flows like a perfect song........I love and respect you art dear LJW.........let's see......Lauren Janice Whitedove?

Excellent poem! I am giddy at reading this, excited to the end, and without fail--a perfect piece. References were not so vague enough to be known--and the imagery is well woven through out each stanza, building itself to a punch (in your face) finale. Thought provoking as always, colorful, dark, and a great written endeavor worthy of any literary magazine. Thank you for sharing, thoroughly enjoyed this one.

i like this poem! alot! i find it witty and easy to read, it has a great flow to it!

i give you cudos, i like that it changed at the end and the he pulled out the "hippy chicks aren't cool anymore" line.

i love the style of the poem, and although the pictures were a bit distracting, they were a fun additive
