Jeff Sessions had to cut the lawn when Woodstock came around …

“In a seismic shift, Attorney General Jeff Sessions will announce Thursday that he is rescinding a trio of memos from the Obama administration that adopted a policy of non-interference with marijuana-friendly state laws …” CNN, 01/04/18.

& tv clips of radiant blonde hippy chicks just plain cavorting in the mud left an indelible mark on his fragile heart,

& the cool kids at school hanging out behind the bike sheds toking away till kingdom come didn’t sit too well with him either as he stayed behind after school to read up on Medieval Legal Practice,

& Sandra from a few doors down just slowly gliding & swirling along the road apiece in her tye-dye and Peace Now button hit all the spots in him too with her confidence, beauty & youthful arrogance,

& peaceniks, & yippies, & Timothy Leary, & Communards, & ferocious Panthers, & that cocky slouching irreverent son of a bitch Abbie Hoffman, & Chicago ’68, & Crumb’s Comix & just plain then all having so much damn Fun,

& all around him the wheelchair bound, the Veterans, the trembling, the nervous get their medicine & he sees the tide turning & now its just plain gosh darned legal & now every kid on every block will soon be toking & laffing & holding each other tight,

& he’s in a rear-guard action, he feels he’s fighting for the very essence of Our Flag Old Glory, & Confused Conservative Principle, & Goodness & Cleanliness & Purity,

& Jeff Sessions is on a losing cause, he’s swept aside by History, he’s a lone weak voice shouting out to the world in frustration & anger,

& Jeff Sessions had to cut the lawn when Woodstock came around, poor soul.
