Addy's All
I just vomited up a glass of water and an apple
It splattered onto cold white ceramic
A marble floor in Michelangelo's hidden work
-A cathedral to display to the heavens: the legacy
of the blue pills I'd swallowed twenty hours previously-
Suddenly, I wasn't so hot
I was able to banish my socks,
Scorn my flannel pajama pants in all their plaided glory!
Vanquish! my horridly mustard tights
And indeed, stand cool and revived
Barefoot in my templed stall
In a sundress, in December
I smoked two bowls of pot
And found the tunnels of my vision
Lined in technicolor! Kaleidoscopic!
So digital, two fifty six ah gee bee cullah
Static, separate from this world
Really static, buzzing and distorting and tickling
Tickling eyes, tickling ears, then ringing, ringing,
Sky is navy, nice pair of jeans
Still ringing, droning, buzzing, screeching,
Sky is lavender and like white paint whoosh
And no ringing, just waves
Sea foam, sleep soon
But alas, a score of minutes and seven hours
Had passed since Thursday began,
And I was expected at work in forty minutes
