primary-color splendor

'Now it was Be-In
and this one event set the
cultural tone of the year
along with the rhymed doublet: Flower Power

There were 20,000 there to surge
in primary-color splendor
with the fine Pacific psyche-light
at last outshining
the Puritanical searchlight
from Plymouth Rock

as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver
Messenger Service, Jerry Rubin, Gary Snyder, Tim Leary,
Lenore Kandel, Ginsberg & others
made words and music.'

'Edward Sanders, The Poetry And Life Of Allen Ginsberg: A Narrative Poem, 2000.
