Five Generations of the snake
That leads to the sea
Today I took that snake
To the sea
The smell of the salt
To grandmother’s house
The Hippies, incense and candles
As they hitchhiked to their utopia
Near Mulholland
The lonelier days of hitching rides
High as a kite on the road
The old VW bug
Where I nearly died after
Coming home from the snake
Body separating from its chasey
On Dumetz and Canoga
Hey ho with the Red Hot Chili Peppers
As we drive the
Labyrinth of pacific coast highway
Side streets viewing the vast pacific ocean
Listening to 1979[i] form the 1990’s
On the CD
But now making
Memories with my son
Cause we like to party[ii]
On the long snake
Garage sales and antiques
And our first sporting view of
The wild purple lupine of spring.

My kids like the Smashing Pumpkins… I use to throw pumpkins at the the band… yet it is a strange truth to this story… that does describe that early time… 1979… to the young nobody punks that no one fucking cared about… !! I remember you all…
