By Dennis Gould

remember to welcome visitors

keep an open house for visitors

friends and strangers need a bed

hitch-hikers and wanders a home

publish posters for love nor money

print poems for lovers

plaster paint on gray town halls

remember to keep a football

for each side needs a game

observe a listening silence

everybody looks for flames

on weekends hawk the streets

selling magazines of view

with visions almost sighted

beyond news of anarchy's utopia.

This poem was first published in August of 1969.
