the crowd is crazy
for this boulder ritual
spring clouds overhead
this is just
one big excuse
for a drunken party
thousands of people
heading for the reservoir:
kinetic frenzy
the lonely faces
of people looking for
something to attach to
big-busted women
accompanied by boys
with rings in their noses
the incredible
people watching is what
is entertaining
that grand piano
way out in front of the rest
the others flounder
most people highly attuned
to what they look like
others could give a shit
the puppet masters
followed the grand piano,
which followed the bug
quickly changing into shorts
behind one car, while someone
pees behind another one
pandemonium
is a controlled exercise
at the kinetics
i think the word fuck
is the most commonly used word
at this event
how many people
are waiting in line for beer?
too bad its bud
the amount of sexual energy
pervading the atmosphere
is big
another navel
punctured by a tirquoise ring
grabs my attention
they bring the beer in
three kegs to an a.t.v.
the crowd cheers them on
beer, bathing suits and cell phones
sets the stage for this
preposterous event
under blue sky mine
this band from australia
sings out its anthem
caught at the crossroads,
he passionately sings out,
whos gonna save me?
his message is clear:
we should protest the transport
of nuclear waste
pedalling and pedalling
across the resivoir
going nowhere fast
