This week's offfering is from a Clevelandpoetics - the Blog reader:

cleveburg ‘67

chopper parked angling curbside greaser dangling
over chromium handlebars black leather jacketed hippie
turning on to the scene
teeny-bopping blonde cutie in black leather flares
smoking reclining against the cool bar wall
frock you store open-doored and full
leather goods hats dresses feathers
head shop full of shoppers
looking for love and its talisman
mannequins standing colored bright
looking out at a turned off world
multi-colored dresses illuminated
smiling lovers of the shop
gave a rose to a cop
no bag baby walking hangup
unhip to the happenings of love
flaking off false turnings on
busting into a turned on crowd
went to a blast dumb as hell
and met a junkie loving fun
child-like woman full of sunshine
digging him up and down the pad
blasting on a madcap freakout

love in be in lagoon happening
seven hundred record sunday hippies
tourists dancing singing children
music floating on the backs of ducks
floating on water walking running
jumping playing happy being
fuzz harassing busting mugging
sun came through shining
love line through crowd twining
books candy records posters
fill the shop and give it life
head shop for a swinging set
coffeehouse hangers speaking soft tones
of understanding across metal ashtrays
on coffee stained tables
while players pinball happy
run up colored lights to score
for more rings and extra balls
