1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Trippy the Hippy
Trippy the Hippie went to bed - 
Trippy the Hippie thought she was dead
Trippy the Hippie was a fool
She knew no one and no one knew her.
Talkin' about the other generation
Trippy tripped out on a vitamin drop.
Learning no answers from her generation
Trippy crammed fourth and forgot how to stop.

Trippy the Hippie lay down slow - 
Trippy the Hippie had no mind to blow
Trippy the Hippie was a fool
She knew no one and no one knew her.
Mercenary for what she declined from
Trippy slept soundly from that moment on.
Coming close greatly and stopping for no one
Trippy died badly for one so young.
