In full regalia at Indian Market,
The Flying Carpet
fell in love with the Best of Show Navajo Rug by Lola Cody,
(a tall 13 foot gorgeously woven stunner)
reveled in the delight of old friendships
with Richard Zane Smith and his wife Carol
ogled the Bedecked Shoppers in their Marathon Exploits
(wished it could purchase Marcus Amerman's beaded postcard!)
envied The Coolness Factor
of The Dudes and The Clowns
tried to fathom the depths
of layers of meaning
admired the Dentalium Shell Beauties
and wondered about the stories
the Old Timers could tell
Alas, the Navajo Rug has gone home with another...
The jingle beads and rattles are silenced...
the pickups have roared off into the sunset...
and The Flying Carpet is left with only Technicolor memories
