Jimmi

Pixie dust sprung from Jimi's eyes

as he rolled in microdot dreams,

purple phased out blades of grass

waved - then heaven screamed,

We watched smart pebbles line the beach

marching to a psychedelic Sousa band

We know must be playing somewhere,--

discarded notes were strewn in the sand.

The pea stones kept amazing time

clicking piezoelectric sound

counting out the midnight sun

as darkness shone around.

So who has seen the sun at midnight?

shining darkly, shadow rays,

playing hooky with the pixies

as the rest just stood n gazed,

The thief he stole our conscience our ego

and our self, left us singin Dylan songs

whose lyrics were his wealth!

The joker saw the sun go down,

a shimmering silhouette, whilst

the thief atop his watchtower

lit a final cigarette

He has seen the sun at midnight

shining darkly,, shadow rays,

dancing through the dark delights

of a ruptured world sunset.
