ALTERED STATES

 

 

I was in

          another

                state

             but

you                        heard me

 

         screaming

              in the grey moonlight

 

                    Hid from

                        mammoth frogs

            and green liverwurst

                 under

           my next yacht

 

I heard Dionysus

                   chatting with

             an Indian princess

                  about

      a new heaven

                     somewhere

               beyond

 

South Sucatash

        

                I figured that

                    I could joint

                  in this righteous

                                  crusade

                    against

                         their own welfare

                               and

           my purple shortcomings

 

              they            tried

                      to steal

                                     away

                 from me

     when I                     preached

                 against

            dead mushrooms

                      to keep

              them

                 in utter pain
