National Poetry Month, 2018 - Poem of the Day at The Poetry Box

Please enjoy today’s selection: “Hippie Wrinkles” by Michael Berton which appears in Keeping It Weird—Poems & Stories of Portland, Oregon

Hippie Wrinkles

the hype
of the hip
city everyone wants
to live in a paradigm
during early evening
brewpub crawls
tugboat hops
circuiting crater
butt molds poems
into poses
trickery in drag
faux vogue in
rogue’s clothes
hemp grass
medicine man
tai chi
reflection
over big pink
moon shine
where okie
mutant salmon
bounce bridges
rainbow youth tread
queer leaps
on bike seats
honk for
obnoxious
deadhead poets
panhandling sex
at orgasmic
open mic
on alphabet street
rate
