5. UNION SQUARE

UNION SQUARE
I sat in Union Square
watching college kids
strum their guitars.
-
They all wanted to
play for peace  -
no war, no violence,
their philosophy was pure:
-
There is no ending of
any quandary...therefore,
let me play.
-
I will wear my tattered jeans
and tattoos and lip jewelry
with the same pride your parents
had in Lawrence Welk, Ed Sullivan
-
or the Beatles. I don't know why
but I will. Certain worlds collide.
Others simply avoid each other.
