I was one of a generation
Who chewed through the leash.
Who ascertained the dose
and doubled it.
Who lived in anything that had a roof
and no rent.
Who took the time
to build community.
Who presented the alternative
to a mundane mainstream.
Who dried amphetamines
On a warm plate.
Who ran a mock
The police.
Who realigned purpose away from work
toward living.
Who camped in freezing trees
To remind us we are of the world.
Who disregarded everything
They had ever been told.
Who took Ketamine
to do their own dentistry.
Who set up free festivals
refusing to apologise for living.
Who drove on LSD
danced all night and drove home.
Who smashed up jets
destined to bomb the innocent
Who snatched the box from Pandora
Who believed freedom
to be the only thing worth possessing.
