America's Cup

The Cadence sailed in the race that year,

the syncopation in a

clash, the reflection of the sails in the water

pre-psychedelic, warm, sun drenched, the smell of hot beach sand and hotdogs,

candy necklaces

The America's Cup won by the crew of 

Columbia

So much began for all of us that day, 

it's staggering

Experience walking around town barefoot and in shorts,

a look that sought approval and showed joy and love 

only to die at 39 O.D.ed on Phenobarbital and Seconal

We went out to see The Story On Page One that night at Theatre 80 on Saint Marks Place

I saw Chico Hamilton walking with  Eric Dolphy 

and a Hunan K menu in his hands is the main thing 

Dancing on roof tops and kissing him

Sailing to Phang Nga Bay like we're out on a hunt 

in a 12 meter class yacht

An experience of appreciation rather than kinetic idolizing 

What a lilt on personally encountering

Jazz

Painting

Poetry

Fiction

History 

no synthetic counterfeit perception

The moment
