looked too long before that leap
failed electric kool-aid litmus test
brain splattered along the path
turning blue-stone pavers red

The martial ones, the fraudulent
compelled that we Be Not Content**
but hope of Love soon turned to War;
our Woodstock burned to Altamont.
*quote from Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey:
“But a system made secure by the protective plating of humor and pretense
always runs the risk of having its protection get out of hand. A relationship
based on jokes invites jokes; jokes about anything -- and jokes about
anything are now and then bound to cut too close to the truth.”
