It Was Forty Years Ago Today

That I was at this festival, for the second time.
Being there proved to me how much getting out
of Gainsborough, the place I was raised,
 was much easier than getting Gainsborough out of my head.
It was not like the 1960's, where if you could remember 
being there then it was a false memory. I remember the event,
the drugs, the music, the bootlegs, the Grateful dead T shirts
the barely alive sense of being there, because being alive 
meant feeling tense, and for three days I felt no tension.
