2 recollections

crossing the border

paranoid about gasoline

my bike’s spoiled appetite

how to explain

having to flag down a bus

from Agua Caliente to Tucson?

standing in line

Fillmore East 2nd avenue

neither of us with a ticket

anarchists uniting,

Jefferson Airplane backstage tuning up

light show check

Kenny dragging me down to the 2nd row

“excuse me, excuse me”

pushing past dozens of patchouli breathers

past sincere hugs,

laughter,

long haired dancing
