HEIDI {takes her top off

 
Someone must have told me
because I remember it. Women
in Switzerland are allowed to vote.

Not in every election, but some of them.

I wonder if it’s liberating?

I am lying on my back in a field in Essex
having taken too much Acid and watching comets
smear themselves between stars in the clear night sky
while music swirls (in colour) from a stage that earlier
I would have sworn, was facing the other way. I read
newspaper accounts of where I was, after the event

and apparently it was marred by violence.

Hell’s Angels fighting with security.
Fires (almost) out of control. The main

thing I remember is a girl called Heidi.

Heidi dancing without her top.

Barclay James Harvest and the Faces.
Quintessence and the Groundhogs.

Edgar Broughton.

I must take another tab.

The moon’s a little crumbly.

Essex doesn’t seem so bad, considering.

It’s where I saw Heidi, dancing.
