Beer In a Bottle…1965


We were flying down some back road, …..nice and slow;

windows down;

Just drivin’ around, Anywhere

outta town;

and We were flyin’. We were flyin’.

Aiming for the light at best.

Or just deeper in the night I guess.

But we were flyin’- nice and slow.

Beer in a bottle, and talk radio.

The president doing his best

to drag us into one more

useless war.

But we were young,

and dumb, and full of

that most noble of body fluids

the blood of native sons.

Ripe for

Squandering.

The four immortals Flying low.

What did you think of the rhythm or pattern or pacing?

great irony, here

I would never have thought of that approach. :-)

Yours in peace,
(Cynthia McKinney for president)

Beer in a Bottle

I liked your poem. I could almost hear your deep voice.

where you had talk radio, I thought you were going to say rock and roll
