Freshmen line up for cannabis authorization letters
Every September the city renews its license to locate Bedlam
Time to hit the books
And chase the dragon
All summer long busy
With the roof to the new monstrosity
Adding to the glare
Under drought conditions
with the thermometer at eighty degrees,
It's as if the trees are about to burst into flames
A cool overcast day is more than welcomed
Meanwhile the Post Office remains unsold
Guy atop the recycled junk bear downtown
Kids recite their poems at the Watershed festival,
These two boys just read and were well-received
Another day at the People's Park
People can convene there
They can line up at the Food Not Bombs table
And receive an appetizing and healthy meal for free
An apartment building on Dwight near Telegraph
Many a poet crossed this threshold
For an after-reading soiree upstairs
It's a place where you are encouraged
To be who you want to be
Rejecting repression and conformity
Some land on the border of savagery
So why not sport a jaunty hat
and parade around
and parade around
on Hallowe'en?
September 2015
