Frogs

Michael Lee Johnson

“Grow grass,
stone frogs,”
written on bathroom walls.
Hippie beads, oodles
colorful acid pills
in dresser drawers
no clothes,
kaleidoscope condoms,
ostentatious sex.
No Bibles or Sundays
that anyone remembers.
Rochdale College,
Toronto, Ontario 1972,
freedom school, free education.
Makes no sense,
when you’re high on a song
“American Women” blasting
eardrums and police sirens come on.

 

(Note: Rochdale College was patterned after Summerhill School-Democratic “freedom school” in England founded in 1921 by Alexander Sutherland Neill with the belief that the school should be made to fit the child, rather than the other way around.)
