High

Counting lines taking dimes, Twisting bags, shaking leaves, Crushing sugar downing shot after shot of lager, Drinking down the crystal lime, Forgetting self in pages, Twisting world getting larger.

What’s Good For Ya One Moment…

Sitting tight, sitting right, Looking left, looking up, Starlight drifts, headlights beam, Taking over the sky drifting scene, Lightsabers, blasters, fast cars, Street lights buzzing, Lazy hood, drifting through smoke dreams, Lazy dreams, tons of cash, Tons of grass, tons of buzz, Grow up, fast times, Grow up, new scenes, Can’t lie about where I…

Sitting on the couch, Watching the scale slide high, Bigger than a pine cone, Taller than a pine tree, Heavier than pine cream tea, Mixed in heavy canned cream, Steamy, wafting high in empty air, Dreams, hitting in the solarplex, Indiscriminate, judging me till I blow up, Caught up in jail house thoughts, Tree’s falling…
