FASTER THAN DRIFTWOOD By Lore Pearson The streets of our minds know the graveyard sites, our kids don't. Society potpourried flower children among squarks: Surviving the Sixtees drug culture, no way you have significant recollection. Damm, I do! 90120 Timorthy O'Leary pychadelia fantasia, and those halycon days facing Pacific sun due West drying facial pores oozing poison. Metamorphosing, my kids postulate: Now Mums in a cult bowing to Yogi Bajan. As chance played its cards, magnestised refrigerator Post-it reads: Moms home two holy decades. They ran into Now-Mr-Yogi-Tea", Turbon with entourage, in Santa Fe. "See" being grounded, "it wasn't as if I exposed you to Jonestown."- Hard-nailed sit my colleagues behind the patriarchal pulpits; so in spite I argue that my fondest memory when bras burned faster than driftwood, was Hendrix and me, cross legged on his bed, strumming and singing "you aint nothing but a hound dog," with cameras rolling (La ti da) Indubitably the sixtees were unforgettable days just because they didn't define what I am not, they defined what I wanted to become.
