Dear Abbie

A Poem by Brett Hernan
"

In recognition of the man whose underground instruction manual, 'Steal This Book', made the New York Times top ten best seller list, (much to his chagrin).

"



Abbie
Hoffman
and
the
other
Yippies,
once,
temporarily
stopped
all trade
on
New York's
Wall
street
stock exchange
by throwing,
like confetti,
handfuls
of one
dollar bills
from the public
viewing gallery
down
on to
the trading floor.
