8 years passes …
Older kids, cool kids in school – anti-establishment, anti-war, tune-in, drop-out.
They hung outside the boys’ toilets.
$10 (was it $5?)* for a matchbox filled with …
Dreams.
Dreams of being cool.
Naivety & Desire – parents of suckers.
Lawn cuttings filled the matchbox.
Solace: I was not the only dope.
What it should have been ...
What I reckon it was - from the lawn.
Notes & Extra.
* I can’t remember the quantity of cash involved in this “deal” – a result of age(?) or misspent youth(?).
* Anyway, maybe Arpad (from whose lawn I suspect the mix came) did us all a favour – according to this article from The Times of India – although his mix was dried and cured.
* This blog could easily cough up incriminating or embarrassing material (especially for me!!), I hope it doesn’t cause anyone any problems. If you think you might pop up in a memory of mine and would like to erase it, let me know!!
