Dispatches for
the Colonial Office
Remembrance
of Poetry Magazines Past
Our intellectual Marines,
Landing in little magazines
Capture a trend.
-Auden
UP THE REVOLUTION
A
travel-back-in-time wish for me might be
ECOLOGY NOW
To those hippie book
shops in San Diego
//// THE PIGS
Mimeographed little
poetry magazines
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
With their
mimeographed art-class covers
MAKE
LOVE NOT WAR
TUNE
IN TURN ON DROP OUT
Posters for the
protest in Balboa Park
DROP ACID NOT BOMBS
Sunlit little tables
and cigarettes
//// NO WE WON’T GO
Chipped cups of
Jamaica Blue Mountain
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Percolating The
Revolution in CAPS
DON’T TRUST ANYONE OVER THIRTY
PEACE LOVE AND HARMONY
Hippie chicks in
turtlenecks and berets
FLOWER POWER
Their delicate
laughter scorning the Proletariat
NEED RIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO COOL PEOPLE
ONLY
And, like, do you
dig Yevtushenko?
