the burning man

my hipster friend
Jodie
goes to the Burning Man festival,
or whatever the
hell it is.
she puts on her multi color
dress
and dyes her hair
blue for the occasion.
puts a stick
pin through her nose
and changes her
name for the weekend
to Rainbow.
i've yet to hear anyone
describe
exactly what they're
doing there.
crawling around
in the heat and mud.
music, crafts, drugs and drinking,
indiscriminate sex.
it sounds
like what i did in the seventies.
except we wore
nicer clothes
and were dancing in a club
under spinning
disco ball
with a vodka tonic in
our hand.
