'Daydreaming, who'd a' thought?'           Timothyrgates,3/18/2016
between acid trips,
Grandpa's always making things alright,
fear of the Bomb
and then the impending "draft,"
protests against the War
for Civil Rights
for equal rights,
dissident sit-ins
Rock festivals
and Jesus People, "One Way," held high
Peace Signs, also, held high,
the obligatory F' off to "authority"
each with varying digits -
darkness had a gift:
Hope.
yes, a "Daydream" for a teen,
where you sing the Songs of then
Songs of your parents,
and grandparents Songs,
of darkness Songs of joy
damn, and Songs of your children,
and their children.
Looking out the school class window,
Daydreaming, who's a' thought?
