You spoke of The Beach

You spoke of The Beach
and how now
the young
could not find
that isolation.

Text-gen I thought;
No matter where -
twenty-four seven
woven in their matrix:
no hiding place for solitude,
no escape into a fantasy,
lived for a while -
until its walls fall down.

And of my end of the hippy-trail -
sweet essence of Nepal
that fogged my mind;
brought by friends
who had scaled heights
rope and piton in hand;
I rose a little,
then plummeted -
broken minded.
