Circa 1964

the year was 1964 and i had recently returned to new york from a long and tedious trip through the wakkka-wakkajihi islands near zippy-dee-du (about a mile south or so). there, i was providing care to guerrilla warriors and their families, up in the scattered hills. when i returned, i attended an engagement party with some friends. two days after this picture was taken, i was assigned to write poetry and tell jokes to north vietnamese mine workers and their families.
