A Happening

Four of us went to this party in the canyon once,

it was huge!

*

It was out in the sticks, man,

there was a live band playin'

and there were cars parked

all over the north forty.

*

Far out.

*

When the farmer people ended the party

it ended in a huge caravan heading

back towards the city.

*

But, bummer, it was only 10 PM.

*

The caravan was boogiein' down the road

and there was this chick standing on a street corner

waving cars to turn down this street.

So we all did.

*

We all ended up in the parking lot of some apartment building.

Must have been a hundred cars, I don't know.

And it was like, one big party.

*

The only thing was, man, I don't think anybody knew anybody that lived there.

*

So, I'm sitting shotgun in the Volvo, and we just bought a gram of some primo hash.

But we didn't have a pipe, so we were just starting to smoke it by

dropping it into the red hot cigarette lighter.

*

But that's when the man showed up.

Pulled right in behind our car and got out.

So I ate the hash.

*

But the crowd was rowdy and started throwing beer bottles at the cops, man.

Pretty uncool, but the cops got back in their car and pulled back to wait for reinforcements.

We split.

*

But everybody was like, oh man!

Why'd you eat the hash!
