20

It happened tonight

Let it be written in the annals of drug stories it happened

I had it....

the biggest high of my life.

I was watching the TV. and Mrs. president was on at Good doc’s,

and I took a hit of off some Peruvian vine in the pipe and it felt huge in my lungs

when i exhaled i knew it was the biggest hit i had ever taken

I coughed a lot

then opened my eyes real wide and said, “SHit. I’m not really ready for

this, I know it.” and braced myself.

that was over an hour ago, I have been watching the clock I am so gone whoa.

time goes kind of long when you’re here ya know seems like forever,

and still, now, I am a tremor a ghost a phantom in the world

somehow I escaped the world

I told myself I couldn’t escape it but I did it

and it’s the kind of place where the Marlboro Man comes along and pulls off

a match in your face, burns it bright in a flash, and lights a big big a big

cigarillo, the thin white ones, and smiles with it in his mouth’s corner,

waving his hand across the expanse of Heaven to me the new arrival and says,

“there it is you fucker,” kicks me a solid one in the ass and opens the

gates for the singing to begin.

Only, that doesn’t really sound too much of the kind of place I would like

to be, some heaven like that, where old movie actors like CARY Grant and

John Wayne are stinking with grins and chuckling’ about how purty it all is to

themselves.

but I’m in that place an hour now, my body has already shaken for twenty

minutes, I have been writing this for more than 20 too and I can’t do the math real fast like this horrible and kind of great at the same time

cause it’s like standing right in Death’s face with the bird///
