courage in certain forms
of me against the options
of substances or words
to ease the discomforts
I display functional knowledge
experienced real ******* up
on altered states chemically
imbalanced wavering between day and
mostly, nights.
I gained somehow, an appreciation of Thoreau,
Van Gogh, Yardbirds,
Yes, and Pink Floyd.
They got me higher.
I woke up with echoes instead
of pain in the morning.
With dreams of creating improvisating,
a new buzz.
