"People's Park Reunion"

People's Park Reunion



Welcome home.
Some of us never came back.
We caught a star (a missed mantra),
a one-way ticket
to delirium. This is what
all falls out
when you shake it,
what jingles away
when you empty the rainbow.
Come here, Jingle Jangle
Man. Let the good times roll.
And all the ones who did
their part, they're walking
around with a shopping cart
and it all comes marching home.
