FIRST IMPRESSIONS

 

 

The first time

I heard of Phish

was at the Chestnut Cabaret

at a Radiators show

 

It was between bands

and they were hyping

an upcoming Phish show

by playing their album

 

I didn’t like it

 

Of course, there’s

a band from San Francisco

that I didn’t like

upon first listen

 

How wrong I was!

 

They always harp

on first impression

how you never get

a second chance

to make a first impression

 

some folks form lasting opinions

based on one impression

and remain unyielding even

in the face of contrary evidence

 

Luckily, I’ve always been too wise

to subscribe to that kind

of idiot thinking

I’d really be missing out

on a whole lot

if I did
