A Sixties Encounter with a Flower Child

I only knew her for an evening
on a wasted weekend night
a quintessential flower child

she was high on something
i was drunk as hell

i made a date with her
for the next day
in a park not faraway

i was there that day
she was not

looking back decades later
i’ve got a feeling
it was better that way

and she may not even
be alive today.
