Poem for '67

start the year by skipping church

then name a battle after your home town

become part of the sleep freeze

astronauts keep dying

but now soldiers are planting seeds

so find Jimmy Hoffa while you still can

remember how greasy coups can tame kings 

imagine giant simians singing sad songs 

and all of a sudden the world contracts before your eyes

so sign up for a riot if you're so bored

squash secessions

lead people then spend their money

swap hearts with someone

and when all else fails blame it on the Mothman

or maybe black holes
