Most folks remember JFK, Detroit,
Days of Rage, Tet, My Lai, LSD,
The Whole Earth Catalog, Woodstock,
the moon landing, serious events.

What I remember most fondly
is all those marvelous, new miniskirts.

So many long, luscious, lovely legs
ascending into some mysterious heaven.

Hormones always trump history.
