Abigail a spooky ghost
Roams the world
Scares scores of people
Every halloween-like night
Enjoys her ghostly life

Doesn’t need to eat or drink
Doesn’t need to work
Doesn’t need anything
Except the joys of scaring people
And laughing at their horrified reactions

Her personal best scare was when
She scared her mean ex husband to death
Served the abusive bastard right
And she loved it when he went to hell

Trapped between heaven and hades
She feels feels happy as hell
Prefers to stay attached to the earth
And get her jollies with frights and mirth

She looked so beautiful and nice in the movies and on TV.
He thought she was as close to angelic as anyone could be.
He watched all her movies. Read all the news about her.
He even had a few dreams about being with her.
On May 16th, 2022, a day he’ll never forget,
He saw her coming out of a ritzy restaurant in New York City
Looking more beautiful and more glamorous in person.
Breathlessly, he ran over to her and asked for her autograph.
Drunk and irritated, she dismissed him with a “Fuck off!”
Thereafter he called that day the day of his reality check.

We used to have hippies everywhere
And psychedelic music playing everywhere.
Then Jimi Hendricks died as if a
Precursor to the end of hippiedom
And all the psychedelic music,
And all the well intentioned love,
And all the well intentioned peace.
How I miss the hell out of those times.
How I miss the hell out of those days
When I see what we are left with now,
When I see far less peace and love,
And fewer free spirits than back then,
And more division and chaos,
In the wreckage of our declining country.
And ain’t nobody wearing flowers in their hair.

Bob Boyd
