Celebrate the Traces ~ Wednesday, October 16, 2024

As you know by now we used LSD
so as to escape our need to grow up

yes we were minors on a weekend trip
out of sorts as teens reading poetry
until crash landing with a defunct band

kiss the past goodbye we drink from the cup
no innocence lost dipped more than the tip
orbits awakened pupils dilated
we watched as traces past after the hand

but to hear Spirit talk philosophy
yet no one could see the unseen prophet

no one cared to eat cake but the coffee
only when sober at meetings befit
wonders never cease wishes belated

work or go to school college for last call
each day we undrank excesses of pain

until we split up went our separate ways
suck it through a straw stranded as to fall
excess leads wisdom to let go of hope
decidedly thoughts made us both insane

Liquidate the mind unknown through the haze
Success overlooks the fact we smoked dope
Diminished by time we found poverty
