seems like yesterday –
“Down to seeds and stems again”
on the radio
As some of you know, I'm really into music, especially oldies from the 50s-70s. This haiku is about the power of music to evoke memory, in this case, a humorously mournful tear-in-the-beer song by the country rock band Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, from the early ‘70s. I heard this song on an oldies station for the first time in decades, and instantly recalled the days when I got to know this quirky music, and the faces of people I didn't realize I'd forgotten. The reference here is to pot, and having only seeds and stems left would be like having only “old maids” and no popcorn. I’m not a pot smoker, but I do love popcorn, so I can appreciate the situation!
