 5. 

I saw a second tier
Of throbbing flakes
Burned by 6th period
4a 4b
Out by 1:30
Wednesdays were the best
Blow dryer and acne days
We took drugs at Sunol park
I could hear insane laughter of Derek Wilson
But we never did find him
It was a pretty big park
The drugs were bunk though
A little speedy and then squat
   Cha zam 
Cha zooey 
  California dreamin' 
65 Chevy in
  Niles Canyon Road
  The lady ghost
Bare hill country
  Dry past the old nuclear power plant
Giant kittens
Where's all the subdivisions?
The Veterans hospital 
And TB Sanatorium
Took horse back riding out there one summer
They taught us to knee the horses in the gut hard
When you cinched the saddle
Cuz they bloat their stomachs
Seems kind of fucked up
Gals had pegged pants
And boots
Dad worked at the Radiation Lab
I kid you not
LSD
Livermore School District
Stenciled on the back of all the fold up chairs
Reading Heinlein and Ray Bradbury
Fahrenheit 451
Sartre Les Mouches and No Exit
Hell is other people
